#FallForFlavor appetizer kid-friendly main dish marinara Mezzetta recipe side dish tomato

Fried Ravioli with Marinara Sauce

Fried Ravioli with Mezzetta Marinara Sauce #FallForFlavor (ad) | Mama Harris' KitchenSometimes I go to a restaurant with my family and I only want items from the appetizers portion of the menu. Does this happen to you too? Whether it’s because I’m not in the mood for a big meal, or I’m just in the mood for some finger foods, sometimes a little appetizer is the way to go. After all, mozzarella sticks were one of my favorite indulgences as a child!

Fried Ravioli with Mezzetta Marinara Sauce #FallForFlavor (ad) | Mama Harris' KitchenI actually decided to whip up these fried ravioli when I picked up this Mezzetta Napa Valley Homemade Marinara Sauce. It’s made in Napa Valley right here in Northern California. I love to support companies in my area, and this sauce smells like heaven right out of the jar. This sauce is made with 100% hand-selected plum tomatoes and contains no added sugar, no tomato paste, and no shortcuts. Just good old fashioned homemade sauce with the highest quality ingredients.

It invokes the most comforting recipes of comfort food in the fall and winter. Although the weather in my area is still in the triple digits, I’m longing for that cool fall breeze and all my favorite recipes and memories that come along with the change in seasons. Something that fall also brings along is shorter days and busy nights, which is why this is such a fun recipe whether it’s for an appetizer for dinner type of meal or a delicious appetizer to serve for those big family dinners on Sunday evenings with the whole family. These fried ravioli served with marinara sauce would also be a great addition to game day snacks, which is also something that comes along with the change in seasons. However it’s served, it’s a fun and simple dish that leaves more time for my favorite things, like family walks in the evening while the weather is cool and brisk, or more time for cuddles with the little ones before they drift off to sleep. We can always use some extra time, right?

Fried Ravioli with Mezzetta Marinara Sauce #FallForFlavor (ad) | Mama Harris' KitchenFor my fried ravioli I chose a combination package of ravioli that included tomato mozzarella and basil pesto. You might think some of my ravioli looks burnt, but it’s actually a darker color because of the pesto ravioli – they’re green! Both flavor ravioli tasted delicious fried, and since they were little ones they were so fun to dip in the delicious Mezzetta Napa Valley Homemade Marinara Sauce. A few days later I made them again with larger lobster stuffed ravioli flavor, and those were equally delicious. So play around with some of your own store bought or homemade ravioli flavors, as long as they are frozen beforehand, then dipped and fried, they’re sure to be delicious!

Fried Ravioli with Mezzetta Marinara Sauce #FallForFlavor (ad) | Mama Harris' KitchenI chose to dip the ravioli in egg whites instead of milk and eggs or buttermilk, because I wanted a thinner layer of crunch. I love using Italian bread crumbs because they already have a bit of a seasoning to them and they’re easy to doctor up for whatever sort of meal you’re preparing.They also go perfectly with Mezzetta Napa Valley Homemade Sauces, which you can find in the pasta aisle at your local supermarket. There’s six different flavors for these amazing sauces, that you can use in such a wide variety of easy weeknight meals.

Ingredients:

  • 12 oz package ravioli in your choice of flavor
  • 3 egg whites from large eggs
  • 1 cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • canola oil, for frying
  • freshly shredded parmesan cheese
  • fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • Mezzetta Napa Valley Homemade Marinara Sauce, heated and placed in a bowl to dip

Directions:

Fried Ravioli with Mezzetta Marinara Sauce #FallForFlavor (ad) | Mama Harris' KitchenBegin by preparing the breading. Combine the Italian bread crumbs, garlic salt, smoked paprika and black pepper in a dish deep enough to dip multiple ravioli in. Mix the seasoning until well combined.

Fried Ravioli with Mezzetta Marinara Sauce #FallForFlavor (ad) | Mama Harris' KitchenIn a separate dish, prepare the egg whites. Dip still frozen ravioli in the egg whites, being sure that both sides are dipped well into the whites.

Fried Ravioli with Mezzetta Marinara Sauce #FallForFlavor (ad) | Mama Harris' KitchenThen drop the ravioli into the breading, being sure to coat both sides well.

Fried Ravioli with Mezzetta Marinara Sauce #FallForFlavor (ad) | Mama Harris' KitchenPlace on a platter or pan lined with parchment paper while you continue to coat the remaining ravioli.

Fried Ravioli with Mezzetta Marinara Sauce #FallForFlavor (ad) | Mama Harris' KitchenPour oil into a large frying pan, using enough oil to submerge the ravioli more than halfway in the oil. Fry ravioli on each side for about 2-3 minutes over medium heat. The ravioli will begin to puff in the middle when it’s ready to flip over.

Fried Ravioli with Mezzetta Marinara Sauce #FallForFlavor (ad) | Mama Harris' KitchenPlace fried ravioli on a baking sheet as you fry in small batches.

Fried Ravioli with Mezzetta Marinara Sauce #FallForFlavor (ad) | Mama Harris' KitchenSpread the ravioli out on the baking sheet so that they’re evenly spaced apart. Sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese.

Fried Ravioli with Mezzetta Marinara Sauce #FallForFlavor (ad) | Mama Harris' KitchenPlace in oven under the broiler for just 30 seconds to one minutes – just until the cheese begins to melt.

Fried Ravioli with Mezzetta Marinara Sauce #FallForFlavor (ad) | Mama Harris' KitchenPop open your jar of Mezzetta Napa Valley Homemade Marinara Sauce, heating up enough sauce to serve with the fried ravioli. It smells amazing, so try to resist just eating the sauce from the jar with a spoon!

Fried Ravioli with Mezzetta Marinara Sauce #FallForFlavor (ad) | Mama Harris' KitchenOnce cheese has melted on the ravioli, place on a serving platter with a dipping bowl full of warmed up Mezzetta Napa Valley Homemade Marinara Sauce, adding a few basil leaves to the dipping sauce.

Fried Ravioli with Mezzetta Marinara Sauce #FallForFlavor (ad) | Mama Harris' KitchenThis is a delicious snack that looks like it was made with far more effort, but it’s so simple and tasty!

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
