Zucchini Ravioli
What you’ll need:
4 medium zucchini
2 c. ricotta
1/2 c. finely grated parmesan, plus more for garnish
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 c. thinly sliced basil, divided
1 clove garlic, minced
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 c. marinara
1/2 c. shredded mozzarella
Directions:
PREP TIME: 0:20
TOTAL TIME: 0:50
Preheat oven to 375° and grease a large baking dish with olive oil.
Make the Noodles: Slice two sides of each zucchini lengthwise to create two flat sides. Using a vegetable peeler, slice each zucchini into thin flat strips, peeling until you reach the center. These are your “noodles.”
Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan, egg and 2 tablespoons basil and season with salt and pepper.
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 the ravioli over and place in the baking dish seam-side down. Repeat with remaining zucchini and filling. Pour marinara around the zucchini and top ravioli with mozzarella.
Bake until zucchini noodles are “al dente” and the cheese is melted and starting to brown on top; 25 to 30 minutes.
Top with remaining basil and Parmesan and serve.
TIPS: Don’t stress over the zuccini noodles. It took me about 3 tries before I felt confident on how to assemble them. Also don’t stress if you run out of a certain ingenditent. I learned to just roll with it. Example: I ran out of pasta sauce so instead I added a can of tomatoes on top that I had on hand and it still turned out delicious!
