This easy keto cheesy spinach ravioli recipe uses melted mozzarella as the pasta shell and a creamy ricotta spinach filling. A quick low-carb and gluten-free comfort food.
8 mozzarella cheese slices
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup spinach
1/8 cup fresh basil, chopped
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp salt
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Step 2: Cook the Spinach Filling
In a small frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the spinach and cook for 1–2 minutes until tender.
Remove from heat and chop the cooked spinach into small pieces.
Step 3: Make the Cheese Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, chopped basil, cooked spinach, garlic, and salt.
Mix until well combined. Using a teaspoon, shape the mixture into 16 small balls.
Step 4: Prepare the Cheese “Pasta”
Cut the mozzarella cheese slices in half to create rectangles.
Place them on parchment paper-lined baking sheets (do not use wax paper). Bake for 4–5 minutes until the cheese slices melt.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly so they can be handled.
Step 5: Assemble the Ravioli
Place one ricotta filling ball onto each melted cheese rectangle.
Fold the cheese over the filling to form a square ravioli shape. Press the edges firmly to seal.
Step 6: Bake and Broil
Return the ravioli to the oven and bake for 3–4 minutes.
Switch the oven to broil and cook for 2 minutes. Press the edges gently with a fork to seal and shape.
Broil for another 2 minutes until lightly golden.
Step 7: Serve
Remove from the oven and serve warm. Pair with low-carb marinara sauce if desired.
Make sure the mozzarella slices cool slightly before folding to avoid tearing.
Add Parmesan cheese or Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
