Hello! Just out of curiosity, did you do this with fresh or frozen ravioli? If fresh, have you tried it with frozen ones? Thanks much!!
Stephanie
I have only done this with fresh, I think you could use frozen, if you thaw it first.
Leslet
Hi, receipt doesn’t state if ravioli should be frozen or thawed.
Stephanie
It should be thawed.

Can you make these in an air fryer
Tracy
Going to try this recipe, it looks similar to mine! I place mine on a cookie sheet over a thin layer of seasoned tomato sauce and a thin layer of seasoned tomato sauce on top and spread mozzarella cheese on them and bake on 350 until cheese has melted. Served with cheesy garlic bread… So delicious!!
Stephanie
I hope you enjoy these!
David
I’m curious if you fried these first or skipped that stepped then just baked?
katie

Stephanie, this recipe sounds amazing! Now I just need to find gluten free ravioli!
stephaniemanley
I bet there is some gluten free products out there that will work well.
Amy Jeanroy
Beth, my son is GF and there IS a tasty ravioli in the freezer section. Sorry I can’t remember the brand, but there is hope. 🙂

Thank you Amy for sharing that there are Gluten Free Ravioli! I knew there had to make some out there.
DM
Want the Chicken Abruzzi recipe asap (Abruzzi sauce normally red, but here it is clear like a thickened chicken broth)
Ashley
I sprinkled a little extra garlic salt to the ravioli as I got them out of the fryer. It added a little extra flavor. Make sure you don’t over fry them because they burn easily!
stephaniemanley
That’s a great idea. I tend to think that its hard to have too much garlic.
Jane Dement
Need Olive Garden’s spaghetti carbanarro (sp) recipe asap!
carrol J grady
I avoid frying – could they just be baked in the over.
Stephanie
These should work in the air fryer. I would bake them in the air fryer at 490 until they become golden.
