• Begin by preparing the breading. Combine the Italian bread crumbs, garlic salt, smoked paprika and black pepper in a dish deep enough to dip multiple ravioli in. Mix the seasoning until well combined.
• In a separate dish, prepare the egg whites. Dip still frozen ravioli in the egg whites, being sure that both sides are dipped well into the whites.
• Then drop the ravioli into the breading, being sure to coat both sides well.
• Place on a platter or pan lined with parchment paper while you continue to coat the remaining ravioli.

• Spread the ravioli out on the baking sheet so that they're evenly spaced apart. Sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese.
• Then sprinkle with chopped basil leaves.
