If you’ve already tried cheese-based recipes like keto taquitos, this method will feel familiar. We use baked mozzarella slices to create soft, pliable shells that wrap around a rich, savory filling.

Ingredients You’ll Need

This recipe keeps things simple. As written, you’ll need:

• Mozzarella cheese slices
• Cooked sausage
• Cream cheese
• Fresh spinach
• Low carb marinara sauce, for serving

That’s it. A short ingredient list with big flavor payoff.

How to Make Keto Ravioli

There are two main parts: preparing the filling and creating the cheese shells.

Step 1: Make the Filling

In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess grease.

While the sausage is still warm, stir in the cream cheese and torn spinach leaves. Mix until the cream cheese melts and everything is well combined. The residual heat will soften the spinach perfectly.

Set aside.

Step 2: Create the Ravioli Shells

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Slice each mozzarella square diagonally to create two triangles. Arrange the triangles on a silicone baking mat. Using silicone is important so the cheese doesn’t stick.

Bake until the edges are lightly browned. Unlike recipes that require crisp cheese, you want these soft and pliable, not fully browned.

Remove from the oven and work quickly while the cheese is still warm.

Place about 1 tablespoon of filling on one side of each cheese triangle. Gently fold the other side over to form a pocket, pressing lightly to seal.

Serve immediately with warmed low carb marinara sauce spooned over the top.

Texture Tip

Because ravioli is meant to be soft, don’t bake the mozzarella as long as you would for something crispy. The edges should be lightly golden but the center still flexible. This makes folding easy and gives you that classic tender ravioli feel.

Can You Use Other Cheeses?

Yes. Mozzarella works best because it’s less greasy and melts smoothly, but you can experiment with:

• Cheddar
• Provolone
• Gouda

Each will give a slightly different flavor and texture, but they all work.

Can You Meal Prep Keto Ravioli?

You have two options:

Freeze assembled ravioli:
Place them in a freezer safe container and bake from frozen at 350°F until heated through.

Prep the filling ahead of time:
Make a large batch of filling and store it in the fridge. When ready to eat, bake fresh cheese shells and assemble for the best texture.

Customization Ideas

This recipe is easy to adapt:

• Use spicy Italian sausage for extra heat.
• Swap spinach for chopped kale.
• Try ground beef or shredded chicken instead of sausage.
• Add herbs like basil or oregano to the filling.
