Ingredients

• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 0.75 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 1 cup Spinach (fresh, chopped)
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Marinara sauce (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the mixture is completely melted (about 1-2 minutes).

Step 3

Quickly stir the almond flour into the melted cheese mixture until well combined. Let it cool slightly before adding the egg and kneading the mixture to form a dough. If the dough becomes sticky, lightly oil your hands to make it easier to handle.

Step 4

Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper until it is about 1/8-inch thick. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles for the ravioli. Gather and re-roll the scraps to maximize the number of circles.

Step 5

To prepare the filling, mix the ricotta cheese, chopped spinach, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until fully combined.

Step 6

Place a small spoonful of the filling onto half of the dough circles, leaving a small border around the edges. Place the remaining circles on top of the filled ones.

Step 7

Press the edges of the ravioli firmly with your fingers or a fork to seal. Ensure there are no gaps to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.

Step 8

Arrange the ravioli on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

Step 9

If desired, warm the marinara sauce while the ravioli are baking.

Step 10

Serve the ravioli hot, with marinara sauce on the side or drizzled on top. Enjoy your low-carb spinach ricotta ravioli!
