Mushroom Ravioli

This low-carb mushroom ravioli features a delicate, almond flour-based dough stuffed with a rich and earthy mushroom filling, served with a hint of garlic and fresh herbs. Perfect for a cozy dinner that satisfies your pasta cravings without the carbs.

Ingredients

• Almond flour - 200 grams
• Eggs - 2 large
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Mushrooms (mixed, e.g., cremini and shiitake) - 150 grams, finely chopped
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Ricotta cheese - 100 grams
• Parmesan cheese - 30 grams, grated
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Black pepper - to taste
• Butter - 30 grams

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine the almond flour and salt. Create a well in the center, add the eggs and olive oil, and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for a couple of minutes until smooth, then wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. While the dough rests, prepare the filling. In a skillet over medium heat, add a teaspoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, then add the chopped mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are soft and any liquid has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool slightly.
3. In a bowl, combine the sautéed mushrooms, ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, fresh parsley, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
4. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it's about 2mm thick. Cut into 10cm squares.
5. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each square. Fold the dough over to form a triangle and pinch the edges to seal. Ensure there are no air pockets.
6. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently drop the ravioli in batches and cook for about 3-4 minutes or until they float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon.
7. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and toss the cooked ravioli gently in the butter for 1-2 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan and parsley if desired.
