St. Louis Toasted Ravioli

Cultural Context

Originating from St. Louis, Missouri, toasted ravioli is a beloved local specialty that reflects the Italian immigrant influence on American cuisine. Traditionally, these ravioli are breaded and deep-fried, providing a crispy exterior that contrasts with the tender pasta and savory filling. Often served as an appetizer, they are typically accompanied by marinara sauce for dipping. Over the years, toasted ravioli has gained popularity beyond St. Louis, becoming a staple at fairs and Italian restaurants across the United States.

🥗Healthier: whole wheat ravioli

💰Cheaper: store-bought frozen ravioli

Whole wheat offers more fiber, while frozen is budget-friendly.

1

Preheat the air fryer to 390 F while you begin prepping the ravioli.

2

In a bowl, toss the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning blend, garlic granules, salt, and black pepper together with a fork.

3

Transfer the ravioli to a large bowl, drizzle the olive oil on top, and stir to coat them properly.

4

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

5

Dip each frozen ravioli into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing so that the crumbs stick to each side. Then, gently shake off the ravioli to remove any extra crumbs.

6

Place the coated ravioli onto the prepped baking sheet, and repeat with 11 more ravioli.

7

Place the first 12 ravioli into the air fryer, and spritz them lightly with oil.

8

Air fry for 10 minutes, carefully turning the ravioli over at 5 minutes.

9

While they cook, finish dipping the remaining ravioli into the breadcrumb mixture, and put them in the fridge while you wait for the first batch to finish.

10

When the first batch is cooked, transfer the ravioli to a platter, and cover them lightly until ready to serve, or serve them right away while they're still hot.

11

Follow the same steps to cook the second batch.

12

Serve and enjoy with your favorite marinara or pizza sauce.
