Fried Ravioli

Last week I made fried ravioli using a mix of spicy chicken sausage and some left over roasted chicken. I added some ricotta cheese and some fresh ground black pepper and a little oregano, very little.

Put that on a won ton wrapper. I used that instead of making the dough from scratch,(if it's good enough for Giada it's good enough for me ;-) topped with a leaf of parsley.

Moistened the edges with a little water and folded into triangles. This is the starting of the first batch.

Cooked for a while in boiling water until they floated to the top, then drained and ready to fry.

Melted about a half a stick of butter until it started browning. I then added a good drizzle of olive oil and when that heated up and started bubbling again I added the raviolis.

The butter takes on a wonderful nutty flavor when browned, my new favorite indulgence. Be very careful because the butter can go from beautifully browned to burned quickly.

Served with a grating of fresh Parmesan cheese.

How can you go wrong with something filled with cheese and spicy meat, then fried in butter.
