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!!

I have only done this with fresh, I think you could use frozen, if you thaw it first.

Hi, receipt doesn’t state if ravioli should be frozen or thawed.

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!!

Want the Chicken Abruzzi recipe asap (Abruzzi sauce normally red, but here it is clear like a thickened chicken broth)

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!
Reply
stephaniemanley
That’s a great idea. I tend to think that its hard to have too much garlic.

I avoid frying – could they just be baked in the over.
Reply
Stephanie
These should work in the air fryer. I would bake them in the air fryer at 490 until they become golden.
