Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for a Cheesy Ravioli Bake in an Air Fryer—crispy, cheesy, and super easy to make!
Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
- 12–15 frozen cheese ravioli (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup marinara or pasta sauce
- ½–¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Cooking spray or a little olive oil
- Optional: fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer:
- Set to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.
- Prepare the ravioli:
- If using frozen ravioli, you can cook them directly in the air fryer without boiling.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket or tray with cooking spray.
- Assemble:
- Place ravioli in a single layer in the basket/tray.
- Spoon marinara sauce over the ravioli. Sprinkle mozzarella, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning evenly on top.
- Air fry:
- Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes, until cheese is melted, bubbly, and ravioli edges are lightly golden.
- Check halfway through and shake or stir gently if needed for even cooking.
- Serve:
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.
- Serve hot, with extra marinara on the side for dipping.
💡 Tips:
- For extra crispy edges, air fry uncovered for the last 2–3 minutes.
- You can also layer cooked vegetables (like spinach or mushrooms) between the ravioli and sauce for a veggie boost.
- This works well with both frozen and refrigerated ravioli—just adjust cooking time slightly if fresh.
If you want, I can also give a larger, fully layered cheesy ravioli casserole version optimized for the air fryer that’s extra gooey and more “oven-style” without taking forever.
Do you want me to do that?
