NOTE: You will have to cook the Ravioli in batches, depending on how many you can get in the air fryer at one time. I have an Instant Pot Air Fryer, and it holds about 12 – 15 at one time. So, if you’re cooking the whole package it might take you two or three batches to cook them all. If you’re just cooking one batch, you might start cooking the Marinara first, so your sauce is done about the same time your Ravioli’s are done cooking.
