A favorite appetizer among the young and the old around the holidays, these crispy pasta bites are easy to make and are excellent dunked in tomato sauce. You can use your favorite flavored ravioli or stuffed pasta for this recipe in place of the cheese ravioli. Olive oil in a spray bottle also works well in place of the cooking spray, without the chemicals. Use your favorite homemade or commercial tomato sauce for this recipe and serve it chilled, at room temperature, or hot.

Ingredients

1 pound - cooked and drained small cheese ravioli
1 cup - soft bread crumbs
1/4 cup - freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons - crumbled Italian herbs
- olive oil cooking spray
1 1/2 cups - tomato sauce

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Generously spray two cookie sheets with the cooking spray. Mix together the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and herbs in a flat bowl. Roll the wet ravioli in the bread crumb mixture and place on the prepared sheets. Lightly spray the ravioli with some additional cooking spray. Bake for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Place the ravioli on a decorative platter and serve immediately with the tomato sauce.
