📝 Preparation Steps
1
Make the marinara sauce (optional)
marinara sauce (homemade or store-bought, optional)1 cup
2
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, squashing the cloves every minute to release more flavor into the oil, about ⏱️ 4 minutes. The garlic cloves may be left in the sauce or removed.
3
Add the tomatoes, oregano, salt and pepper to taste, and sugar, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for ⏱️ 20 minutes. Adjust the seasonings as needed. The sauce may be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Salt, preferably kosher

5
Pour the evaporated milk into a shallow bowl. Put the breadcrumbs into another shallow bowl.
6
Dip each ravioli into the evaporated milk, and then coat it with breadcrumbs. Set the ravioli aside on a large piece of wax paper to rest for ⏱️ 10 minutes.
7
In a large saucepan, pour the oil to a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil to 375°F, and fry the ravioli (do not crowd the pan—cook in batches if necessary) until golden brown, 3 to ⏱️ 4 minutes. Remove the ravioli with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Place them on a heated platter, sprinkle with the Parmigiano-Reggiano, and serve with the sauce on the side, if desired.
