Description

Delicious and healthy zucchini ravioli recipe that is low carb, vegetarian, and gluten-free. These zucchini parcels are filled with a creamy ricotta mixture and baked to perfection, making them a satisfying main course.


Ingredients

Zucchini Ribbons:

  • 2 large zucchini, thinly sliced lengthwise into ribbons

Filling:

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or 1/2 teaspoon dried
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Other:

  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • Olive oil spray or brush
  • Fresh basil and extra Parmesan for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, garlic, basil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Assemble the ravioli: Lay out zucchini ribbons, place filling in the center, fold the zucchini over, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  4. Bake: Spoon marinara sauce over the ravioli, brush with olive oil, and bake for 20–25 minutes until tender.
  5. Serve: Garnish with fresh basil and Parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline for even zucchini slices.
  • You can prepare the ravioli ahead and bake just before serving.
  • Try adding spinach or herbs to the filling for variety.
