“I miss ravioli. I miss pasta.” These are things I hear often as a keto coach. You can have pasta dishes while following the ketogenic diet. They won’t be pasta like you’re used to, but they hold the sauce well and allow you to have some of the foods you miss, even if you don’t like zoodles. I personally love zoodles! My husband, not so much.
I don’t make these all the time, maybe a few times a year, but when I do, I make a lot! This recipe itself makes quite a few. Store those leftovers in a freezer bag or airtight container and toss them in the freezer for another day. They can go from freezer to air fryer to plate in under ten minutes, so once they are made, they make for a quick dinner on the nights you don’t want to cook. They also make for a great appetizer if you are having a party. Serve a little sauce on the side for dipping and serve a plate of friend ravioli.
If you have your favorite ravioli filling, go ahead and use that. Fill them with beef, sausage or a mix of meat and cheese. I’ve even talked about filling these with mashed cauliflower to make pierogies. You can make them larger to fill with sauce and cheese for a hot pocket type of meal. Once you master the dough, the possibilities are endless! What a great way to spend the day with the kids. How many of us grew up making pierogies or raviolis with the family? Now you can pass that down even if you don’t eat traditional pasta!
I’d love to hear what you made and how the family liked it!
