Ingredients:
For the pasta dough:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp xanthan gum (optional, for texture)
- A pinch of salt
For the filling:
- Ricotta cheese
- Spinach (steamed and drained)
- Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, eggs, xanthan gum (if using), and a pinch of salt. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a bit more almond flour.
- Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper until it’s very thin.
- For the filling, mix ricotta cheese with steamed and drained spinach, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
- Place small spoonfuls of the filling onto one half of the dough, leaving some space in between.
- Carefully fold the other half of the dough over the filling, and press down around each mound of filling to seal the ravioli.
- Use a ravioli cutter or a knife to cut the dough into individual ravioli.
- Boil the ravioli in a large pot of salted water for about 2-3 minutes. They’ll float to the top when they’re done.
- Serve the keto ravioli with your favorite low-carb marinara sauce or a creamy Alfredo sauce.
