Breaded Fried Ravioli

"Like many regional delicacies, the exact origins of toasted ravioli are hotly disputed. According to local legend, this sensational starter was created when a chef accidentally plopped a fresh ravioli into the deep fryer instead of a pot of boiling water. While several restaurants in St. Louis's The Hill neighborhood claim to be the original site of this happy accident, there's one thing that's unambiguously clear: toasted ravioli are an appetizer to be reckoned with. That's why we're introducing Trader Joe's Breaded Fried Ravioli, a quick, convenient way to bring this regional treasure into your home with just a few minutes in the oven, skillet, or air fryer. Each Breaded Fried Ravioli starts as a stately square of semolina pasta, filled with a mouth-watering mix of five kinds of cheese: creamy ricotta, mild Monterey Jack, rich mozzarella, savory Asiago, and piquant Parmesan. These Ravioli are then battered and deep fried to perfection, then flash frozen for you to finish the job at home. Once prepared (we find an air fryer to be particularly suited for the job), they're everything a cheesy appetizer should be: warm, gooey, and phenomenally cheesy, with a crispy, savory exterior—a little like a breaded mozzarella stick, taken to the next level."
