Instructions
Step 1
Spray the Cook & Crisp™ Basket with cooking spray. Prepare the dredging station by placing the flour in a medium bowl, the eggs in a separate medium bowl, and in a third medium bowl mix together the bread crumbs, Parmesan, and basil. Season with salt and pepper
Step 2
Dredge each piece of pasta in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it in the eggs, and then in the bread crumb mixture, evenly coating both sides. Place the ravioli in the prepared basket in a single layer. Only prepare as many ravioli as will fit in the basket without touching or overlapping; you may need to work in batches.

Place the basket in the pot. Close the lid and move the slider to AIR FRY/STOVETOP. Select AIR FRY, set the temperature to 390°F, and set the time to 8 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin cooking.

When the first batch is complete, carefully remove the basket, place the toasted ravioli on a plate, and repeat steps 3 and 4 with the remaining ravioli, if necessary.
Step 5
When cooking is complete, sprinkle the ravioli with Parmesan cheese and serve warm with the marinara dipping sauce.
Step 1
Place flour in a mixing bowl. Place eggs in another bowl. In a third bowl, combine olive oil with panko breadcrumbs and mix thoroughly.
Step 2
Working in batches, toss ravioli in flour. Shake off excess flour, then dip ravioli in eggs. Transfer ravioli to breadcrumbs and coat well. Set aside.
Step 3
Place the Cook & Crisp™ Basket in the pot. Close crisping lid. Preheat the unit by selecting AIR CRISP, setting the temperature to 375°F, and setting the time to 5 minutes.
