Anyway, the point is that this Crispy Ravioli with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce is where it's at when you need to make a finger food that is going to knock the socks off whomever's feet you want naked.

And with football season in full swing, these would be great for home-based tailgating. I don't know that I'd recommend deep frying off your actual tailgate, but if you're watching the game from the couch (which is how we roll), these are a great, easy snack that tastes a lot more complicated than they actually are. I created this recipe in partnership with Red Baron pizza as something that would be great served along their pizza for game time.
