Air Fryer Olive Garden Stuffed Ziti Fritta
Ingredients
For the Stuffed Ziti:
12-15 large ziti pasta noodles, cooked al dente
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
Breading Stations:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups Italian breadcrumbs
Serving:
1 cup marinara sauce , for dipping
Directions
Mix ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Carefully stuff each cooked ziti noodle with the cheese mixture. A piping bag or a small spoon can be helpful for this step.
Arrange three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with Italian breadcrumbs.
Roll each stuffed ziti in flour, dip in the beaten eggs, and then coat with breadcrumbs.
Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the breaded ziti in a single layer in the basket and spray the top with cooking spray.
Air fry for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to do this in batches.
Serve the stuffed ziti fritta warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
