Ingredients:

• 6 cups oil for deep-fat frying
• 1 25-oz. pkg. frozen cheese ravioli
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup biscuit mix
• 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 1 2/3 cups water
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cups fine dry Italian bread crumbs
• 1 lb. thinly sliced provolone cheese, cut into fourths
• 1 26.5-oz. can spaghetti sauce, warmed

Method

Heat oil to 350 degrees in a deep-fat fryer. Meanwhile, for batter, in a large bowl stir together flour, biscuit mix, and seasoned salt; stir in water. Set batter aside. In a medium bowl stir together oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley flakes, Pamresan cheese, and bread crumbs; set aside. Dip each ravioli into batter, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Roll in bread crumb mixture. Fry 4 to 5 ravioli at a time for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place fried ravioli 1 inch apart on large cookie sheets. Place one piece of cheese on each ravioli. Bake for 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese melts. Serve with warm spaghetti sauce.

Notes: These wonderful little raviolis are versatile, great as an entree or as an appetizer for a party. Zesty spaghetti sauce makes an easy yet perfect complement. This is also a great vegetarian dish.
