Ingredient list

2 eggs
2 Tbsp. milk
12 RITZ Crackers, crushed
½ tsp. garlic powder
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
2 cups vegetable oil
12 refrigerated spinach-filled ravioli
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil
¾ cup marinara sauce, warmed

Directions

Beat eggs and milk in shallow bowl until blended; set aside. Combine cracker crumbs, garlic powder and 3 Tbsp. Parmesan in separate shallow bowl.

Heat oil to 375°F in large saucepan on medium-high heat. Meanwhile, cover baking sheet with double layer of paper towels.

Dip ravioli, one at a time, into egg mixture, then cracker crumb mixture, turning to evenly coat both sides of each ravioli with each ingredient.

Add ravioli, in small batches, to hot oil; cook 2 to 3 min. or until golden brown, turning occasionally. Remove ravioli from oil; place on prepared baking sheet to drain.

Sprinkle with basil and remaining Parmesan. Serve with marinara sauce.
