One-Pan Ravioli Shakshuka

Traditional shakshuka has runny eggs that have simmered in the warmly spiced tomato sauce, but in this version, we traded out the eggs for ravioli, and it's every bit as satisfying. It's the perfect version for dinner, and honestly, the pasta is a lot easier than stressing over getting that egg perfectly runny. Serve it with some crusty bread for swiping in the sauce, and you have the coziest weeknight dinner in about 30 minutes.

Air Fryer Ravioli

16 Best Ravioli Recipes To Satisfy That Stuffed Pasta Craving (11)

Crispy on the outside, cheesy on the inside, these little air-fryer ravioli are like a slightly more sophisticated mozzarella stick. Thanks to the ingenious design of the air fryer, you can get that delightfully crispy, poppable texture of toasted ravioli without the grease. The key to the crunchy coating is first dipping the pasta in an egg-milk mixture, followed by a roll around in Parmesan and bread crumbs. Dunked in pesto, the result is next to impossible to put down.
