Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 2 large egg
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small, finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup, keto-friendly marinara sauce
Instructions
Begin by preparing the dough: In a large microwave-safe bowl, mix the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir and microwave for another 30 seconds until the cheeses are fully melted and combined.
Add the almond flour, xanthan gum, and one egg to the melted cheeses. Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough by hand until smooth, then wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 10 minutes to firm up.
While the dough is chilling, prepare the filling. In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant. Then, add the ground beef, salt, black pepper, oregano, and basil. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, then drain excess grease.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Take the dough out of the fridge and roll it out between two sheets of parchment paper until about 1/8 inch thick.
Using a round cutter or a glass, cut out circles from the rolled dough. Re-roll the dough scraps to make as many ravioli as possible.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the meat filling onto the center of half of the dough circles. Brush the edges with a lightly beaten egg to help seal.
Place another circle over the top of each filled circle and use a fork to press down the edges, sealing them tightly to prevent leakage.
Transfer the sealed ravioli to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden.
Heat the keto-friendly marinara sauce on the stove until warm.
Serve the baked ravioli with a drizzle of marinara sauce on top. Enjoy!
