Air Fryer Toasted Ravioli Recipe
Toasted Ravioli is one of my favorite things to eat. It conjures up great memories of childhood at a wonderful Italian Restaurant, with a plate piled high, sprinkled with fresh grated Parmesan cheese, and the best meat sauce marinara in the world. Although the Restaurant is long gone, I can still enjoy this wonderful treat, right in my own kitchen, and the Air Fryer makes it light, and crunchy, and quick. I made my own marinara, and voila, it was so delicious. You are going to love this recipe, so keep it handy as it’s sure to be a favorite.
