Zucchini Ravioli can be summed up with one word: yum!!! I am a fan of pasta, that is no secret. I grew up eating most Italian based foods and unfortunately, they aren’t always so kind to the waist line! Finding a way to cut down on the carbs and calories is always a goal of mine. As is incorporating more fun foods to our week day routine. Salads can get boring, you know?! Besides, Chris stated that this is one of his favorite new “healthier” things that I have made. So you know it is good! He isn’t going to throw those terms around lightly.
What you need:
2 zucchinis
1 15 ounce container of park skim ricotta cheese
shredded Parmesan cheese
Italian season
parsley flakes
Lawry’s seasoning
jar sauce of your choice (I used a low sodium, organic tomato sauce but would be fabulous with many kinds!)
olive oil spray
What you do:
–Preheat oven to 350
–Spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray
–Mix the ricotta cheese, a handful of Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning and parsley in a bowl
–Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips using a veggie slicer
–Make an “x” with two pieces of the zucchini and place a spoonful of the cheese mixture on to the center
–Folder over each of the the zucchini slices and place fold side down on a baking sheet until you are out of cheese
–Sprinkle Lowery’s seasoning (or one of your choice) over the “ravioli”
–Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes
–Top with a few spoonfuls of sauce and shredded cheese

YUM!!! I just love cooking with zucchini! This will be on repeat in our house! So creative, so much healthier and these pictures make me drool!! Thanks girl for such an awesome recipe!!!
That sounds delicious! You’re totally right that the worst part about Italian food is all of the carbs, but this looks like the perfect way to cut carbs without cutting flavor!
Holy yum. I make zoodles a lot and think they’re a great substitute for spaghetti! I never thought of making ravioli, though! This is awesome and looks so delicious.
This is a good idea! I’m weird with zucchini though. I need my zucchini done done and a little crisp so I’m better off grilling it or baking it whole and making it into a boat with the cheese and sauce I think. I can do zoodles if they’re masquerading as spaghetti but not as other types of pasta!
Lowery’s = Lawry’s or there is an awesome line of seasoning out there I don’t know about?
Ohhh my god this looks SO good! I’m salivating right now. Thanks for sharing!
Sounds so good!
oooooooh sounds good!!! I always want to find good recipes that use zucchinis! I wonder if I can just cut them myself that thin since I dont have a veggie slicer. Tuesday confession: I dont know what a veggie slicer is or what it even might look like.
It’s so awesome that you can just pop these in the oven for a quick and healthy meal. These look great!
I made this once before and aside from actually rolling them perfectly this was so delicious!! Thank you for reminding me to make them again! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
Yum! Definitely going to try these!
This is GENIUS! I’ve only made zoodles…zuchhin ravioli is a game changer!!
*zucchini…yikes, I need more coffee!
These look SO yummy! We are always looking for tasty ways to cut carbs out, especially at dinner. Def gonna save this one 🙂
My problem is that even if I made a healthy dish like this, I’d make it UNhealthy with the amount of cheese I put on top of it… lol
Um, yum! This looks so good and easy. Thank you for the great idea!
this looks delish. i have bought zucchini before in the attempt to make these, but i never do before they go bad. i dont even know how to slice them lol. i don’t think i have the tool for that. maybe one day. because i really need to eat less pasta hahaha. we eat SO much.
Carbs are definitely my weakness so I’m always look for some tasty recipe swaps!
Holy deliciousness! All of my favorites and it’s low carb, win-win <3

I LOVE the idea of zucchini instead of pasta! this looks so yummy!! I would have to try my hardest to not put a pound of cheese on top of it though.
I am a fan of all things zucchini, looks delicious.
YUM we love zucchini and “zoodles” in our house but I haven’t tried them this way – this looks like a great recipe! Thanks for sharing!!
