Easy Zucchini Ravioli 

PREP TIME:30 minutes 
COOK TIME:30 minutes                                       
SERVES: 6 persons 

Ingredients:

• 3 Zucchini 
• 1 ½ cup ricotta cheese 
• ½  cup parmesan cheese 
• ¼ cup finely chopped parsley 
• 2 tsp minced garlic 
• Freshly cracked black pepper 
• 1 large egg 
• 2 cup marinara sauce 
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese 
• Basil leaves 

Instructions:

• Preheat the oven at 375℉. Grease a baking dish with olive oil & set it aside.
• Slice two sides of zucchinis lengthwise to create two flat surfaces. With a vegetable peeler, slice zucchini into flat strips.
• For the filling, take a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, minced garlic, black pepper, egg, parsley.

• Place two zucchini strips, two more strips on top. Forming a ‘+’  shape. Put one scoop of filling in the center. Fold all the edges in the center. Ravioli are ready to bake.

• Put some marinara sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Arrange ravioli,& pour with remaining marinara sauce. Top ravioli with mozzarella sauce.

• Bake in the center rack of the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese fully melts & golden on top.
• Served with basil & parmesan cheese.

Notes: 

• Don't peel the skin of zucchini. Make strips with peel.
• Using a vegetable peeler is the easiest way to strip zucchini. A salad cutter or knife can be used.
• For vegan filling spinach, mushrooms can be used.
• Italian seasoning, oregano, chili flakes taste good in ravioli.
• Use Ground beef, meat, chicken, or seafood like salmon, shrimp in filling for a full meal.
• I am using 4 strips to make a ravioli. A number of strips for ravioli are personal choice. Ravioli is made with 2 strips even with 6 strips.

Storage tips:

• Leftover ravioli will remain fresh up to 2 days in a container in the fridge. Microwave for 20 seconds before eating.
• I don't recommend freezing baked zucchini ravioli but it can be stored before baking. Prepare fillings & shape ravioli. Then arrange in a baking sheet & freeze. Transfer frozen ravioli in Ziploc bags.
• Baking frozen ravioli: Remove frozen ravioli at least 5-6 hours before baking or overnight to defrost it. Now  Bake ravioli as my recipe instructions & serve.
