This Family Friendly Gluten Free & Keto Cheesy Spinach Ravioli Recipe is Really Quick to Throw Together. The Ravioli tastes so much like Traditional Ravioli that you’d Never know it’s made Entirely of Cheese! That’s Right the Recipe uses Mozzarella Cheese Slices instead of a Pasta Shell.
How Do You make Keto Ravioli?
To make these delicious Keto Cheese Spinach Ravioli… start by preheating your oven to 325 F. In a small frying pan, brown the garlic in the butter for 1 minute. Then add the spinach to the pan. Cook for 1 – 2 minutes or until the spinach is tender. Chop the cooked spinach into small bits. In a mixing bowl add the ricotta cheese, chop up and add the basil as well as the spinach and garlic. Add in the salt and stir until well combined. Using a tsp, make 16 small balls with the ricotta mixture.
Cut the cheese slices in half, then spread out the mozzarella slices onto 2 parchment paper (Not Wax Paper) lined baking sheets. Bake the cheese slices, until fully melted, approx. 4-5 mins. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before adding one ball of ricotta to each slice.
Next, fold the rectangles in half, making squares. Firmly press the sides closed. Return to oven for 3 – 4 minutes. Broil for 2 minutes, push side in with a fork into squares. Broil another 2 minutes.
WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?
The ketogenic diet (often called keto) is a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When in ketosis, your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source.
On Keto, you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from Fat, 15 to 25 percent from Protein, and 10 percent from Carbohydrates. You should avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

RECIPE TIPS:
- Using pre sliced Mozzarella Deli Slices makes this recipe a breeze.
- I turned my oven to broil for the last 2 minutes of baking, just to brown the tops a bit more. Watch very closely if you do this step.
- Small square piles of grated mozzarella cheese will work instead of the slices if needed.
- To make the the ravioli extra pretty, you can quickly trim the edges with a a knife after baking them. This step isn’t necessary but it does give the ravioli a perfect square shape.
