Zucchini Ravioli

Quick easy and healthy! The next time I make this I will update the photos, I apologize in advance!

This is such a great recipe you can easily put different spins on!

What you will need;

  • 2 large zucchini’s
  • Cottage cheese
  • Ricotta cheese
  • Shredded Italian cheese
  • Chicken sausage or ground turkey
  • Pasta sauce
  • Cheese slicer  -linked here this is a game changer for this recipe! I failed at the first few attempts!

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

First, make sure to wash your zucchini! You will cut the ends off of your zucchini and use your cheese slicer to make thin long slices. (I will add more photos when I make this again for the beginning steps) You will slice both of the zucchinis these will be your “noodles”

Next, you will make your “stuffing” for the ravioli. This you can mix and match and make your own! I mixed cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, and shredded Italian cheese, but you can make it your own! Add in some salt and pepper to taste ( you can also add in some fresh chopped basil for even more flavor) Once you make this you will also make your sauce, you will want to put this on top of your ravioli while you bake it so it doesn’t dry out. My favorite go to is either ground turkey or chicken Italian sausage. Same with this, make it your own! This is what I love about this recipe you can use the base and customize it to your own liking.

Now the fun part! Making your ravioli!

You will take two of your zucchini slices and make a plus (+) sign with them. Where the two overlap in the center is where you will put your ravioli stuffing (there is a fine line between too much and too little!) I decent spoon full size is good. You will then fold each of the ends of the zucchini on top of each other to close up your ravioli. Keep doing this for however many ravioli’s you are wanting to make.

Once you complete this you will place them in a greased pan ( I use olive oil, avocado or coconut oil works too)

Now you will take your pasta sauce and lay it over the top of your ravioli, I add shredded Italian cheese on top for presentation, but this is optional.

Place in your preheated oven at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes and enjoy!
