Step 1: Prepare the Marinara Dipping Sauce

1. In a small saucepan, pour in the marinara sauce and heat it over medium heat.
2. Stir in the garlic powder, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes (if using).
3. Let the sauce simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s heated through and the flavors meld together. Set aside to keep warm.

Step 2: Prepare the Breading Station

1. Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls.
   • In the first bowl, place the flour and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
   • In the second bowl, whisk the eggs.
   • In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.

Step 3: Bread the Ravioli

1. Take the frozen cheese ravioli and dip each piece first into the flour, coating it evenly.
2. Next, dip it into the egg, making sure it’s fully coated.
3. Finally, dredge the ravioli in the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coat.
4. Repeat for all the ravioli.

Step 4: Fry the Ravioli

1. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat or in a deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
2. Carefully add the breaded ravioli into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
3. Fry the ravioli for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
4. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the ravioli from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!

1. Arrange the fried ravioli on a serving platter.
2. Serve with the warm marinara dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy your crispy, cheesy, and irresistible appetizer!
