Toasted Cheese Ravioli

Perfect as a main course, side dish or appetizer, this recipe is sure to please both adult and child alike! I served this as a side dish with Italian Chicken with Lemon Butter Sauce, green beans and a cucumber salad. I also drizzled the ravioli with a little homemade marinara.

serves 8 ( 7 points +)

• 2 T. water
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 c. Panko Japanese bread crumbs
• ¼ c. grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 ( 18 oz) package fresh cheese ravioli
• 4-½ T. olive oil, divided
• marinara sauce (optional)

Combine water with egg in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, combine Panko with Parmesan cheese. Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray. Add 1-½ T. olive oil. 
Dip ⅓ of ravioli in egg mixture, then coat in Panko mixture. Add to pan and saute 1 minute per side or until golden. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Repeat twice with remaining oil, ravioli, egg mixture and Panko mixture.
