Not A Good One

The pecans fall off and start popping in the oil. A better way to do this is instead of cooking the ravioli's, thaw them out, dip them in a milk and egg wash and dip them in a mixture of Italian bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. The pecan and cheese topping did nothing to enhance the raviolis.




Can't wait to make for New Year's Eve

Have had them at home, but I can not wait to make them for a New Year's Eve party we are invited to. I am going to take other's advice and bake them so that I can make them ahead of time and bring them hot out of the oven, so that I don't have to make a mess while frying at someone else's house, even tho I just ordered a new deep fryer for Christmas!




Easy and So So Good

Won't Try Again

Sorry Paula but pecans and ravioli do not go together at all. It was horrible. I will stick with the tried and true method of using bread crumbs. After one bite, no one would try anymore. Waste of money.




Not pecans!!!

Fried or Toasted Ravioli, whatever you want to call it originated here in St. Louis. You use the bread crumbs. Look to see if you can buy the ravioli already breaded and bake them in your oven. Wonderful, Sorry Paula, I love all your recipes but........




You can coat a lot more ravioli than the recipe calls.

I tried this after watching the episode it was featured on and looking for some new dinner ideas. I had all the stuff for it so it was really convenient. I put the pecans in the food processor and that made life a whole lot easier. It crushed them down to bread crumbs! I also had a 29 ounce bag of frozen cheese ravioli. I didn't think I would be making the whole bag, but there was so much of the dry ingredients left, that I just finished it off. My husband loved it! The didn't re-heat very well. It was far better the first time around. It was very easy to make and I would make it again!




Great recipe

I love this as an appetizer but I decided to make it into a meal so instead of the cream marinara, I made a five cheese marinara with mushrooms and I added shrimp. I spooned the sauce over the ravioli that I fried using Itailian breadcrumbs (don't know about the pecans). My family really enjoyed the ravioli paired with the great sauce!

I accidently picked up roasted garlic chicked ravioli instead of the cheese and used it anyway. My husband and I both raved about it, it was soooo good. He took part of the leftover to work for lunch and let some taste it and they loved it too! I gave some to an Italian friend and she loved it too!

I found that the pecan and cheese mixture did not adhere well to the ravioli. The recipe called for more of the pecan and cheese mixture than needed. I thought that once fried, the ravioli lost its cheesy flavor. I tasted the fried shell and the pecans; however, the sauce was good. I prefer plain ravioli.




Awsome

Not sure if I was doing something wrong, but the pecans would NOT stay on the ravioli. I gave up after awhile.

User: sTACEY from La Palma, CA    User Rating:
the idea was good, but the ravioli's were not very cheesy on the inside...maybe you could recommend a brand..also I didn't use pecans I used almond meal...whcih tasted fantastic and made the ravioli very crunchy...I think it would work better with homeade ravioli




amazing

this recipie was amazing. i loved the flavor and textures. the only problem was that the pasta was a little undercooked, and the inside of the ravioli wasn't very cheesy, it was just hollow.




Had to Make Changes

Forget the pecans, they won't hold. I substituted bread crumbs. Forget cooking for 2 minutes per side, they burnt. I changed it to 1 minute per side. I took Dione from Opelika, AL's suggestion and baked in the oven at 450 for 15 minutes. They burnt again! Changed to 425 for 10 minutes and they were great.

the flavor was excellent but it was very hard to get the nut/cheese mix to stick to the ravioli so it didnt look very appealing. other than that, it was very quick and inexpensive to fix.

Just what I've been looking for...

User: Dione from Opelika, AL    User Rating:
My husband and I fell in love with the toasted ravioli they serve at the Olive Garden, and I was determined to find a recipe I could do at home...This is it. The only thing I did differently was that I toasted the ravioli in the oven...I didn't fry them in oil. If you would like to try it: Line a shallow pan with aluminum foil, coat it with cooking spray, coat top of ravioli with cooking spray and bake for about 15 minutes on 450 or until brown and toasty. You'll love it!

Clean plates all round. Not good for your waist line..but tastes great. Smaller portion sizes were better (about 4-5 per person.) My fiance raved about the sauce. Be careful not to over fry...

I really enjoyed this recipe. It was good, but when I cooked it the cheese and pecans some of them came off the ravioli and burnt on the top of the oil. I used the grated parmesan cheese because someone said it was easier , but it falls off i will try Paulas way. SHE IS THE CHEF !

i loved this recipe! i had never had fried ravioli before and i was very pleased! i did make some changes. I used half pecans and half italian style bread crumbs instead of all pecans because i thought the flavor would be better. the combo or pecans, bread crumbs, and cheese was so yummy! and the sauce....wow it was soo good! my boyfriend loved this recipe. i will most certainly make it again and again!




Fantastic!!!

This receipe is fantastic!! I didn't want to mess with the pecans (b/c there seems to be a problem with them sticking) so I used egg and breadcrumbs instead and it was wonderful! I also baked mine at 415 for 15 minutes instead of frying for a slightly healthier touch. I just can't say enough these are fantastic!
