Ingredients

• 3 large zucchini
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 bunch, chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1 tablespoon coconut aminos

Directions

Step 1

Start by slicing the zucchinis into thin strips, preferably using a mandoline. Aim for slices about 1/8-inch thick to mimic ravioli sheets.

Step 2

Lay the zucchini slices on a clean cloth or paper towel. Sprinkle lightly with salt to help release excess moisture. Let them sit for about 10 minutes.

Step 3

In the meantime, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until soft and translucent.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the pan, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Continue cooking until the beef is browned.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Cook the mixture for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Remove from heat and mix in the nutritional yeast and coconut aminos. This will enhance the umami flavor, adding a cheesy taste without actual cheese.

Step 7

Pat the zucchini slices dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 9

To assemble the ravioli, lay two zucchini slices in a cross pattern. Place a tablespoon of the meat filling in the center and fold the ends over the filling to close, creating a small packet.

Step 10

Place each filled ravioli, seam side down, onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, until the zucchini is tender.

Step 12

Optionally, garnish with a bit more fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Whole30 compliant meat ravioli!
