You may have seen deep fried ravioli, often referred to as “Toasted Ravioli” in the appetizer section of restaurant menus. I like to use the Giovanni Ranna 3 Cheese Ravioli to make a similar version in the air fryer.
Boil the raviolis for 3 minutes then dip them in an egg mixture and dredge in panko bread crumbs. Spray both sides with oil so the ravioli can get nice and crispy, then air fry for 8 to 10 minutes. Serve them with Rao’s Marinara sauce which you can find in the pasta section at Costco.
