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
-
In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until fully browned. Drain any excess fat.
-
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
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Slice mozzarella cheese squares diagonally to form two triangles.
-
Place cheese triangles on a silicone baking sheet and bake until the edges turn golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and spoon 1 tablespoon of the sausage mixture onto one side of each cheese triangle.
-
Carefully fold the other side over to create a ravioli pocket.
-
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.
