Zucchini Ravioli



One of my favorite low carb meals, using sliced zucchini to make ravioli.



Zucchini Ravioli


Ingredients

  • 4-5 zucchinis

  • Salt

  • 1-2 cups marinara or your favorite pasta sauce

  • Mozzarella cheese

  • Basil or parsley for garnish

Filling

  • 1-2 cups ricotta cheese ( depending on amount of zucchini slices)

  • ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated or shredded

  • 1 egg

  • 2 Tablespoons basil or parsley

  • Pinch pepper


Directions


Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Using a vegetable peeler, slice each zucchini lengthwise into thin flat strips.


Lay zucchini in a colander set over a bowl or lay on top of paper towels and sprinkle salt on top of the zucchini slices. Let sit for 20-30 minutes to draw out the water.


Meanwhile, make the filling by combining the ingredients together in a bowl.

Using a paper towel, blot out the water from the zucchini. Take 2 equal size slices of zucchini and overlap to form a cross. Add a spoonful of the filling in the center of the cross. Take one side of zucchini and fold over the center, then fold in the remaining sides, tucking in as needed. Repeat with the remaining zucchini strips.

Spread 1 cup of the sauce on the bottom of a casserole or baking dish. Place the wrapped zucchini seam side down and top with dollops of the reaming sauce.


Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top and bake for 20-25 minutes or until zucchini is tender. Top with optional garnish before serving .
