Crispy Parmigiano Reggiano and Sage Ravioli

Crispy Parmigiano Reggiano and Sage Ravioli

20 January 2026

Crunchy on the outside, soft within – this is ravioli made for cheese lovers.

These ravioli hit all the right notes – crunchy on the outside, pillowy on the inside, and deeply savoury thanks to plenty of aged cheese and fragrant herbs. Think of them as ravioli crossed with your favourite bar snack: indulgent, nostalgic, and dangerously easy to keep popping until the plate is empty. 

 

Prep time: 75 min.

Cook time: 10 min.

Serves: 4-6

 

Ingredients:

  • 250 g fresh ravioli (preferably butternut squash or ricotta cheese)
  • 100 g fresh breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp. chopped sage
  • 1 tbsp. chopped rosemary
  • 100 g grated Parmigiano Reggiano (plus extra to serve)
  • Pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 100 ml milk
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Handful sage leaves
  •  

Spread the ravioli on a baking sheet and freeze for 25-30 minutes until hard. In a separate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, sage, rosemary, 50 g Parmigiano Reggiano and a pinch of black pepper.

Use another bowl to whisk the eggs and milk in a shallow dish. Remove the ravioli from the freezer and dip in the egg mixture before coating in the Parmigiano Reggiano breadcrumbs. Arrange on a baking sheet and return to the freezer for a further 25-30 minutes to harden. Heat oil in a heavy-based saucepan until hot and fry the ravioli in batches for 3-5 minutes until golden. Remove from the oil and drain on kitchen paper. Fry the sage leaves for 1-2 minutes until crispy and drain on kitchen paper. Serve the ravioli hot with more grated Parmigiano Reggiano and deep-fried sage leaves.

Celebrate National Guacamole Day with This Celeb Chef Recipe

15 September 2025

September 16 marks National Guacamole Day, and what better way to celebrate than with a recipe from one of America’s most recognizable chefs? Bobby Flay, who’s built a career blending bold flavours with approachable techniques, has been known to throw down on everything from burgers to tacos — but his guacamole has become a signature in its own right.

Guacamole is the rare dish that’s both timeless and endlessly customizable. In his TikTok demo, Flay builds his guacamole the way he builds most of his food — layering flavour. He mashes ripe Hass avocados just enough to stay chunky, then folds in finely diced red onion, minced serrano chiles, cilantro, fresh lime juice, and plenty of kosher salt. Whatever you do, he says, do not add tomatoes to your guac (yes, chef).

Try it at home:

  1. Mash three ripe avocados in a bowl until chunky.

  2. Stir in red onion, serrano chile, tomato, garlic, lime juice, cilantro, and salt to taste.

  3. Serve right away with tortilla chips — or let it rest a few minutes so the flavours meld.

The beauty of this recipe is that it’s adaptable. Add extra lime for brightness, or more spice, if you like it hot. However you mix it, guacamole is the ultimate party trick: fast, fresh, and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
