Low Carb Zucchini Ravioli

No Comments

In the Mood for Italian and on a low carb or keto diet? This recipe will be an excellent way to incorporate a low carb version of an Italian classic to your dinner recipes! This recipe is very easy to make and only takes about 15 minutes! The hardest part is slicing the zucchini noodles. Use a good peeler or a good slicing knife. If you have a mandolin that may be better. The point is to get good thin noodles. Start with at least four or five just to make sure you have enough. I only had three and messed up and was down to two, not enough for this recipe.

Enjoy! This recipe is from www.delish.com

Mix all of the dry ingredients together.

Slice up all of your zucchini noodles into thin pieces.
Roll up the ravioli into squares four pieces with the cheese mixture in the middle.
Roll up the ravioli and pour the marinara sauce on top. Cover with the mozzarella cheese and bake.

Zucchini Ravioli

A delicious keto low carb zucchini ravioli recipe.
Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time1 hour 5 minutes
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Italian
Keyword: ravioli
Servings: 4
Calories: 223kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 4 Medium Zucchini
  • 2 Cups ricotta Cheese
  • 1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 Clove Garlic
  • 2 Cups Marinara
  • 1/2 Cup Mozzarella Cheese

Instructions

  • 1.) Preheat oven to 375° and grease a large baking dish with olive oil.
  • 2.) Make the noodles: Using a vegetable peeler, slice each zucchini into thin
    flat strips.
  • 3.) Make the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan, egg, 2
    tablespoons basil, garlic, and season with salt and pepper to taste
  • 4.) Assemble the ravioli: Lay two strips of zucchini noodles so that they
    overlap lengthwise. Lay two more noodles on top, perpendicular to the
    first strips. You should end up with a “T” shape. Spoon about 1
    tablespoon of filling in the center of the zucchini. Bring the ends of
    the strips together to fold over the center, working one side at a time.
    Turn ravioli over and place in the baking dish seam-side down. Repeat
    with remaining zucchini and filling. Pour marinara around zucchini and
    top ravioli with mozzarella.
  • 5.) Bake until zucchini noodles are cooked and the cheese is melted, based on your oven between 25 to 30 minutes. Check to see that the top is golden.

Keto Low Carb Grocery Haul (Instacart)

No Comments

Hello and welcome to my Keto/Low Carb Instacart grocery haul! This video was filmed at the beginning of the year but it is a good example of some of my keto food choices. Instacart is a great source of home grocery delivery. I really enjoy the convenience of this but keep in mind you do have to pay a service and deliver charge. This is a great alternative when you do not want to travel in bad weather or maybe just do not have the time to go to the store.

I have been doing a low carb “ketoish” style diet for about six months. I find that I feel better and have less joint pain when I reduce my sugar and starchy carb intake. I still need to work on my fitness and weight but the low carb lifestyle seems to work for me. Hope this video gives you some ideas of what you can eat on a low carb diet. What are some good food items you enjoy on the low carb lifestyle?

  • Instructions
    1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
