What kind of Meat is in Olive Garden Toasted Ravioli?
Olive Garden’s Toasted Ravioli is loaded with seasoned beef. But when you make them at home, you can use raviolis that have different meat in them. Sausage and Cheese Ravioli are one of our favorites.
Ingredients:

- Large Eggs
- Panko Breadcrumbs
- Garlic Powder
- Salt
- Black Pepper
- Italian Seasoning
- Vegetable Oil for Frying
For Serving:

How to Make Olive Garden Toasted Ravioli:
- Heat Oil for Frying – Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350 degrees F.
- Mix breading ingredients together – Place the flour in a shallow bowl. Whisk the eggs in a separate shallow bowl. Then mix together the breadcrumbs, pepper, Italian seasoning and garlic and salt in a 3rd shallow bowl.
- Dip the Ravioli – Then dip the ravioli in the flour. Then in the eggs and in the breadcrumb mixture (pressing it to coat the ravioli with the breading).
- Place in hot oil – After the ravioli has been breaded, place it in the hot oil (working batches being careful not to overcrowd the pan).
- Cook Ravioli – Cook for approximately 1-2 minutes per side until both sides are golden brown. Then move them to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up the excess oil.
- Deep Frying Continue – Continue this process until all the raviolis have been fried.
- Oil Tip – Watch the oil closely to make sure that it doesn’t get too hot. This ensures that the fried raviolis do not burn.
- Serve and Enjoy – Serve while warm topped with the fresh parsley and grated Parmesan Cheese with the marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
Recipe Variations:

Baking would have a different texture. I’m sure you could bake them, but I haven’t tried it yet.
Yes, I think you could.
Can these be cooked in the air fryer instead of oil??
Is there a way to do this as baked rather then fried? If so, can you include those alternative instructions. Thanks.
