Make It

Parmesan Dipping Sauce:

1. Process cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt and pepper in food processor until combined. Remove 3/4 cup to small bowl. Add basil to remaining sauce in processor; process until sauce is smooth. To each sauce, stir in 2 tablespoons water to thin slightly. Refrigerate until serving.

Fried Ravioli:

2. In shallow dish or pie plate, lightly beat eggs and milk with fork until blended. On sheet of wax paper, combine bread crumbs, garlic salt and cayenne.

3. Line a baking sheet with foil. Toss ravioli with beaten egg gently to coat. Remove a few ravioli at a time, letting excess drip off. Coat ravioli in crumb mixture, shaking off excess. Place on prepared pan; repeat process.

4. Over medium-high heat, heat oil in 5-quart saucepan until 350 degrees F on deep-fat fry thermometer. Fry a third of the ravioli at a time, turning occasionally until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes for each batch. Drain on paper towels. Serve with Dipping Sauce. (Or refrigerate, then reheat in 500 degrees F oven for 1 to 2 minutes.)
