INGREDIENTS

  • 2 large Zucchini
  • 2 teaspoon Parmesan Cheese reduced fat (to sprinkle on top)
  • 1 tablespoon Cheddar Cheese reduced fat (to sprinkle on top)
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Basil or Parsley chopped (to garnish)

FOR THE RICOTTA FILLING

  • 1 cup Low Fat Milk Ricotta
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Chopped Basil or Parsley
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
  • ½ cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese reduced fat
  • salt and pepper to season (as per taste)
  • 1 cup marinara sauce low fat

INSTRUCTIONS

  • To start off, you'll need a large zucchini. Begin by trimming off the ends and using a peeler to peel thin ribbons of zucchini. These ribbons will serve as the "noodles" for your ravioli. Cut them into really thin strips and set them aside for later use.
  • Next, let's prepare the delicious ricotta filling for the ravioli. In a bowl, combine 1 cup of ricotta cheese, 3 tablespoons of chopped parsley, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 2 large eggs, salt and pepper to taste. Use a fork to mash the ricotta cheese and mix everything together until well combined. Your ricotta filling is now ready!
  • No ravioli is complete without a flavorful marinara sauce. In a blender, combine peeled tomatoes, onions, diced garlic, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Blend everything on high speed until you have a smooth low-carb marinara sauce. Skip this step if you're using store bought marinara
  • Now, let's get to the fun part - assembling the zucchini ravioli! Take two thin ribbons of zucchini and place a heaping dollop of the ricotta filling in the center. Top it with another two ribbons of zucchini, creating a cross-section formation. Hold it all together gently and set it aside. Repeat this process until you have used up all the zucchini ribbons and filling.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). In a baking dish, spread a layer of the homemade marinara sauce. Arrange all the zucchini ravioli parcels over the marinara sauce. Sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley, grated low-fat Parmesan cheese, and low-fat cheddar cheese over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 7 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
  • Once the zucchini ravioli is baked to perfection, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve it up and enjoy this healthy, green, and veggie-filled meal! Your kids will love the taste and won't even realize they're eating their veggies!
