Air Fryer Crispy Spinach & Ricotta Fried Tortellini are excellent; there is nothing better than some Air Fryer Crispy Tortellini. This makes the perfect appetizer, snack, or light lunch or supper.

The air fryer makes a quick and tasty bite of crispy, crunchy, and tender pasta filled with cheese and usually served with marinara sauce. It’s excellent kid-friendly food. I mean, which child doesn’t like to dip while they eat.

I love a great plate of fried pasta; usually, when I order it from the restaurant, it’s deep-fried, made in vats of oil. With the air fryer, it’s so much healthier. So, if you love deep-fried tortellini, I bet you will love this dish.

Some Common Questions Asked About This Recipe-

Can You Use Frozen Tortellini?
While you can use tortellini since you cook it, it’s best to use the refrigerator.

If you use frozen tortellini in this recipe, be sure to drain very well and only cook al-dente so that it’s almost thawed out.

Do You Cook Tortellini Before Air Frying It
Yes, you cook it till it’s al-dente; make sure that it’s not cooked to the entire package directions; otherwise, you will end up with hard pasta.

The trick is to semi-cook it in the water by boiling and then to finish the cooking in the air fryer.

Some Pro Tips for Making Air Fried Tortellini

  • Do not crowd the basket. Otherwise, they will not get all crisp up.
  • Cook in batches for best results. You really want the air to flow freely around the tortellini.
  • Experiment with different filings.
  • Add some other herbs in the panko breadcrumbs, such as oregano, red pepper flakes, Greek seasonings, etc.
  • You can substitute out the panko for Italian breadcrumbs.
  • Spray your basket with cooking spray so the tortellini doesn’t stick.

Can You Refrigerate Air Fryer Fried Tortellini
If you have any air fryer tortellini over, the best thing would be to let them cool to room temperature and then place them into an airtight container. Place the container into the refrigerator until ready to eat.

To reheat, either place them into a skillet and pan-fry until warmed through. Or place back into the air fryer for 3 to 5 minutes at 350 degrees F, air fryer setting, until warmed up.

What If I Don’t Own An Air Fryer
If you do not have an air fryer, you can follow this recipe strictly, but change the air fryer out for a regular oven.
