Filled with a creamy Italian sausage mixture and served with a rich marinara sauce, these ravioli are not only delicious but also incredibly easy to make.

Ingredients

• 24 slices provolone cheese
• 1 pound 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 the Oven:

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your cheese slices melt evenly and develop a nice golden edge.

2. Prepare the Cheese:

Line a baking sheet (or multiple baking sheets) with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Arrange the 24 slices of provolone cheese on the baking sheet(s), making sure to leave space between each slice to allow for spreading as they melt.

3. Make the Filling:

In a small bowl, mix together the cooked and drained Italian sausage, cream cheese, sour cream, and shredded mozzarella cheese. This creamy, savory filling is what makes these ravioli so irresistible.

4. Melt the Cheese:

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven for about 3 minutes, or until the cheese starts to bubble and turn golden brown around the edges. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. Once the cheese slices are ready, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let them cool for 3-5 minutes. This cooling period allows the cheese to firm up slightly, making it easier to handle.

5. Assemble the Ravioli:

Add a scoop of the Italian sausage filling to the center of 12 of the cheese slices. Carefully place the remaining 12 slices of melted provolone on top, using a spatula to lift them. Press down gently around the edges of the cheese to seal the ravioli, creating a delicious, cheesy pocket filled with savory goodness.

6. Broil to Finish:

Turn your oven to the broil setting and return the baking sheet to the oven. Broil the ravioli for about 30 seconds, just enough to heat the top slice and ensure the edges are well-sealed. Be cautious not to over-broil, as the cheese can burn quickly.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

Remove the ravioli from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Plate the ravioli and serve them with your favorite keto-friendly marinara sauce, such as Rao’s Marinara. For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle some freshly grated parmesan or pecorino romano cheese on top. Enjoy your delicious, low-carb meal!

Tips for Success

• Cheese Slices: Make sure to use thick, deli-style provolone slices for the best results. Thin slices may not hold up as well when filled and broiled.
• Filling Variations: Feel free to get creative with the filling! You can substitute the Italian sausage with ground beef, chicken, or even a mix of sautéed vegetables for a different flavor profile.
• Serving Suggestions: Pair these ravioli with a fresh green salad or some roasted vegetables for a complete, keto-friendly meal.
