Air Fryer Ravioli Lasagna

Table of Contents

Intro

Ravioli lasagna is the ultimate shortcut to lasagna bliss. Instead of fussing with boiling noodles and layering ricotta, you use cheese-filled ravioli as both the pasta and cheese layer — meaning less prep, but still all the comfort. In the air fryer, it bakes up bubbly and golden in a fraction of the time, with tender ravioli nestled in a rich tomato sauce and covered in gooey, melted cheese. It’s perfect for weeknights, date nights, or when you want a “wow” dinner without the hours of work.

Preheat: 3 min

Assembly: 5 min

Air fry covered: 18–20 min

Air fry uncovered: 4–5 min

Rest: 5 min

Total Time: ~35 minutes

Ingredients (Serves 4–5)

1 (20–25 oz) package frozen cheese ravioli (no need to thaw)

2 cups marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp Italian seasoning

½ tsp garlic powder

Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Air Fryer & Dish (3 minutes)

Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (182°C) for 3 minutes.

Lightly grease an oven-safe baking dish that fits in your air fryer basket.

Layer the Ravioli Lasagna (5 minutes)

Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of the dish.

Arrange a single layer of frozen ravioli over the sauce.

Sprinkle a little Italian seasoning and garlic powder.

Add a layer of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

Repeat layers (sauce → ravioli → seasoning → cheese) until ingredients are used, ending with sauce and cheese on top.

Air Fry to Cheesy Perfection (22–25 minutes)

Place the dish in the air fryer basket.

Air fry at 360°F (182°C) for 18–20 minutes, covered loosely with foil to prevent over-browning.

Remove foil and air fry for another 4–5 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.

Rest and Serve (5 minutes)

Let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes before serving so it sets slightly.

Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.

Serving Suggestions

Pair with garlic bread or cheesy breadsticks.

Add a fresh side salad with balsamic dressing to balance the richness.

For extra indulgence, drizzle a little pesto over the top before serving.
