3½ cups La Spagnola oil

2 cups warm Sunday Pasta Sauce (recipe featured on pg. 72 in my cookbook “Gifts Of Gold”

Step-by-Step

1  whisk eggs and milk together in glass pie plate; reserve milk bath

2  mound Sicilian Style Breadcrumbs on flat clean work sauce

3 working in small batches; dip each ravioli in milk bath; coat all sides; immediately transfer to breadcrumbs

4  cover ravioli with bread crumbs; transfer to clean flat surface arranged in single layer

5  heat oil in large fry pan over high heat; add 8-12 breaded ravioli  to  hot oil (do not overcrowd the pan (ravioli will expand as they fry)
