The Easiest Keto Ravioli You’ll Ever Make (And It’s So Good!)
Ravioli without the pasta! Say what?! 😯
Oh keto, I love you so, but sometimes I really do miss pasta. I’ve tried all of the pasta alternatives but none of them have quite hit the spot… until now.
Introducing keto ravioli!
This delicious low carb dish is great to serve as an appetizer or even as a main course. All the delicious ravioli flavor you love without all the added carbs. My family practically asks me to make this meal every day, it’s that good! 😋
What’s more impressive is the minimal ingredients list required to make keto ravioli. The “pasta” portion is simply slices of provolone cheese with some jazzed up Italian sausage in the middle, topped with Rao’s marinara (it’s one of our favorite keto-friendly pasta sauces!).
Just a little tip when making your keto ravioli:
This can get a little sticky so it’s best to line your baking sheet with parchment paper to keep the ravioli from sticking. Then once done, top the ravioli with grated parmesan cheese (yep, more cheese!) and enjoy! 😋
Keto Ravioli
yield: 4 SERVINGS
prep time: 15 MINUTES

Delicious low carb ravioli made with provolone cheese in place of traditional pasta.
Ingredients
- 24 slices provolone cheese
- 1 lb. Italian ground sausage, cooked and drained
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup Rao's Marinara
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
Line a baking sheet (or baking sheets) with parchment paper. Add the 24 slices of provolone cheese to the baking sheet or sheets (depending on how large your baking sheets are) leaving space in between each piece and set aside.
3
In a small bowl, mix together cooked Italian ground sausage, cream cheese, sour cream, and shredded cheese and set aside.
4
Place the baking sheet in the oven for 3 minutes or until cheese starts to bubble and turn golden brown around the edges. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let cool for 3-5 minutes. You may have to do this in stages if you're using more than one baking sheet.
5
Add a scoop of Italian sausage filling to the middle of twelve cheese slices. Place the remaining twelve slices of melted provolone on top, lifting gently with a spatula.
6
Once placed, press down to seal the edges of the provolone cheese.
7
Turn oven to broil and place the baking sheet back in the oven. Keep an eye on the ravioli, you will only want these in for 30 seconds or so, just enough to heat the top slice to really seal the edges.
8
Remove ravioli from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before plating. Serve with your favorite keto marinara sauce and parmesan cheese (or pecorino romano!). Enjoy!

We’re so impressed with this keto ravioli hack, and who could say no to a dish with so much cheese!? 🧀 Even your non-keto friends and family will be sneaking away grab a few more while you’re not looking.
My team member, Jenna, gave this recipe a test for me, and here’s what she had to say:
“This recipe is completely brilliant! The melted cheese stuffed and covered in mozzarella totally tasted like homemade ravioli, I’m seriously shocked! I’m adding this yummy dinner to my weekly rotation for sure.” – Jenna
I hope that your entire family loves this delicious keto ravioli recipe as much as mine did. Enjoy!

Are the calories correct? Seems very high.
Hi there! Yes, the macros are correct due to the fact that these are made up of cheese & meat, and because the serving size is three big raviolis. You could reduce the macros by just having one or two raviolis. Hope this helps❤
This looks DELICIOUS!!! Y’all rock!
Hi Amanda! Thank you so much🥰
Made this tonight! Great idea. Thank you for sharing
Yay! You’re so welcome!
This looks great and easy! Do you think it would work stuffing them with a ricotta filling?
While we personally haven’t tried that, I think it’s worth a try! Let us know how it turns out for you!
It sounds great! I was also thinking of making a mushroom filling. It looks like you could use any type of ravioli filling here.
Can Swiss be used instead of provolone?
Made your Lemon Zucchini bread. Oh yes! Oily, but delicious. Shared with non-keto neighbors and they all loved it! Thank you!
That should work well too! You’re very welcome, Robin! Glad you enjoyed the Lemon Zucchini bread!
I made these keto ravioli, but used Havarti, and parmesan cheese, and ground chuck and ground sausage mix for the filling. Did not top with the marinara. They were great!
Sounds yummy! Glad to hear you enjoyed them!
I love this website. Thank you for sharing your recipes.
Aww, You’re SO welcome! Thanks a bunch for the sweet feedback! 🥰 Super happy you are loving the site!
We just made the Keto Ravioli and it was very good! My husband even liked it! Thanks for all you do! Not only does this help make Keto a lifestyle but makes it fun too!
I agree it makes it more fun! So glad you and the hubby liked it. Thanks for the feedback, Kdawn!
I didn’t think my very picky teenager would like these, but he ate a full serving. And my hubby and I loved them too! Although the cheese melted all over the place, I was able to salvage it and get it looking good. Paired with homemade marinara, they are fabulous!
That is so great to hear! Thanks for letting us know, Amanda Miller!
can you freeze these before or after cooking?
I would say yes to the mixture you are filling the cheese with but no to the ravioli. They would not cook evenly if the center is frozen. You could make a large batch of the filling freeze it and then use it when needed.
The result of the recipe was really good. I accidentally mis-read the amount of cream cheese listed and added 2oz or double the number of tablespoons listed. Made for an extra creamy filling which everyone really liked and was glad it happened. Thanks for the recipe.
You’re welcome! Happy to hear how yummy they turned out for you! 😋
