Why You’ll Love This Recipe

If you’ve been missing ravioli on a keto or gluten-free diet, this recipe is a game-changer. It’s quick to prepare, bursting with rich flavors, and satisfies those pasta cravings—all while keeping carbs to a minimum. Inspired by my popular Keto Chicken Taquitos, this recipe uses baked cheese to create a ravioli shell that is both crispy and melty.


Ingredients You’ll Need

This keto-friendly ravioli comes together with just a handful of ingredients:

  • Mozzarella slices – Forms the perfect cheesy shell

  • Cooked sausage – Adds a savory, meaty filling

  • Cream cheese – Provides a rich, creamy texture

  • Spinach – A nutritious addition

  • Low-carb marinara sauce – For serving


Step-by-Step Instructions

Making keto ravioli is simple and requires only two main steps: preparing the cheese shells and stuffing them with a flavorful filling.

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

  1. In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until fully browned. Drain any excess fat.

  2. While the sausage is still warm, mix in the cream cheese and torn spinach leaves. Stir well until combined. Set aside.

Step 2: Make the Cheese Ravioli

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Slice mozzarella cheese squares diagonally to form two triangles.

  3. Place cheese triangles on a silicone baking sheet and bake until the edges turn golden brown.

  4. Remove from the oven and spoon 1 tablespoon of the sausage mixture onto one side of each cheese triangle.

  5. Carefully fold the other side over to create a ravioli pocket.

  6. Serve immediately with warm low-carb marinara sauce.


Key Cooking Tips

  • Watch the cheese closely. For the best texture, remove it from the oven as soon as the edges brown. Unlike keto taquitos, which need a crispy shell, keto ravioli should remain soft.

  • Use a silicone baking sheet. This prevents the cheese from sticking and ensures perfect results every time.

  • Customize the filling. Swap out sausage for shredded chicken, ground beef, or even mushrooms for a vegetarian option.


Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Use a Different Type of Cheese?

Yes! While mozzarella is ideal because it’s the least greasy, you can also use cheddar, provolone, or gouda. Each offers a slightly different flavor but works well in this recipe.

Can I Meal Prep This Recipe?

Yes! Here’s how:

  • Freezing: Assemble the ravioli and freeze them uncooked. To serve, bake from frozen at 350°F until warmed through.

  • Refrigerating: Prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in an airtight container. Assemble and bake fresh for the best taste.
