To make crispy pumpkin ravioli, you will need: - 1 package of store-bought or homemade pasta dough - 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or freshly made) - ½ cup ricotta cheese - 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - 1 teaspoon nutmeg - Salt and pepper to taste - 1 egg (for egg wash) - 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crispiness) - Olive oil spray If you can't find some ingredients, here are some swaps: - Instead of ricotta cheese, use cream cheese for a creamier texture. - For a dairy-free option, try using cashew cheese or tofu blended until smooth. - If you lack nutmeg, cinnamon gives a nice warm flavor too. - For the egg wash, you can use a mixture of water and cornstarch. Using good quality ingredients makes a difference. Here are some trusted brands: - For pasta dough, I recommend Barilla or fresh local brands. - Libby's is a great choice for pumpkin puree. - For ricotta, look for Galbani or BelGioioso. - When it comes to breadcrumbs, Panko from Kikkoman is top-notch for extra crunch. - Finally, use a good quality olive oil for spraying, like California Olive Ranch. To make the filling, take a mixing bowl. Add 1 cup of pumpkin puree. Then, mix in ½ cup of ricotta cheese. Next, add 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. Now, sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of nutmeg. Finally, season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until the mixture is smooth. This filling is creamy and full of flavor. If you have store-bought pasta dough, skip this step. If you are making dough at home, roll it out into thin sheets. Use a pasta machine or a rolling pin. Once rolled, cut the pasta into squares that are about 3 inches. Make sure the squares are even. This will help the ravioli cook evenly. First, preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Next, take each pasta square and place a spoonful of the pumpkin filling in the center. Brush the edges with a beaten egg for a good seal. Fold the square into a triangle shape and press the edges tightly. Use a fork to crimp the edges, adding a nice touch. Now, spray the ravioli with olive oil on both sides. Coat them in breadcrumbs for extra crunch. Place the ravioli in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap. Air fry them for 10-12 minutes. Check until they turn golden brown and crispy. Depending on your air fryer size, you may need to cook in batches. Once done, remove the ravioli and let them cool slightly before serving. They're now ready to enjoy! To make your crispy pumpkin ravioli extra crunchy, use panko breadcrumbs. Panko is lighter and gives a better crunch than regular breadcrumbs. Spray the ravioli with olive oil on both sides. This helps the breadcrumbs stick and adds flavor. Cook the ravioli in a single layer in your air fryer. This allows hot air to flow around all sides, ensuring even cooking. For the best results, preheat your air fryer. This step helps the ravioli cook quickly and become crispy. One common mistake is overfilling the ravioli. Too much filling can cause them to burst during cooking. Make sure to use just a spoonful of filling. Another mistake is not sealing the edges well. Use a fork to crimp the edges. This keeps the filling inside. Also, avoid crowding the air fryer basket. If you stack the ravioli, they won't cook evenly. Finally, don't skip the egg wash. It helps the breadcrumbs stick better. Enhance the flavor of your pumpkin filling with spices. A pinch of cinnamon or a dash of cayenne can add warmth. Fresh herbs, like sage, can also bring a nice touch. You can mix in some sautéed onions or garlic for a savory note. Don't forget to season the breadcrumbs, too! A sprinkle of garlic powder or Italian seasoning adds depth. Consider serving the ravioli with a drizzle of balsamic reduction. This adds a sweet and tangy contrast to the dish. {{image_2}} You can swap the pumpkin filling for many other tasty options. Try using sweet potato for a sweeter touch. Butternut squash gives a nice earthy flavor too. For a savory bite, mix spinach and feta cheese. You could also use mushrooms and ricotta for a rich, umami taste. Each filling brings its own charm, making your ravioli unique. To make this dish vegan, replace the ricotta and Parmesan with vegan cheese. You can use tofu mixed with lemon juice for a creamy texture. Use a plant-based egg substitute to seal the pasta. The pumpkin puree keeps the flavor while being fully plant-based. Just like that, you have a delicious vegan option everyone can enjoy! Pair your crispy ravioli with some tasty sauces. A simple garlic butter sauce works wonders. For a fresh touch, try a basil pesto. It adds a vibrant flavor that complements the pumpkin. You could also serve it with marinara or a creamy Alfredo sauce. Each sauce brings something special to your meal, making it even more delightful! After you enjoy your crispy pumpkin ravioli, let them cool down. Place any leftovers in an airtight container. Keep them in the fridge for up to three days. This keeps them fresh and tasty for your next meal. To reheat your ravioli, use the air fryer for the best results. Set it to 350°F (175°C). Cook for about 5 minutes, checking until they are warm and crispy again. This helps keep that crunchy texture we love. You can also use a conventional oven. Just place them on a baking sheet. If you want to freeze your ravioli, lay them out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Freeze them for about an hour. Once frozen, transfer them into a freezer-safe bag. This method prevents them from sticking together. You can store them in the freezer for up to three months. When you are ready to cook, air fry them straight from frozen. Just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time. To seal ravioli, you should use an egg wash. Brush the edges of the pasta squares with a beaten egg. This helps the dough stick together. After adding the filling, fold the pasta over. Press the edges tightly to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges. This adds a nice touch and ensures the filling stays inside. Yes, you can use store-bought pumpkin puree. It saves time and is very convenient. Look for pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling. The flavor will be richer using fresh pumpkin puree, but both options work well. Just make sure it is smooth for the best ravioli texture. Cook the ravioli in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) before placing the ravioli inside. Make sure they are in a single layer. If your air fryer is small, you might need to cook them in batches. Check for a golden brown color for the best crispiness. In this post, we explored how to prepare delicious pumpkin ravioli.
