Keto Ravioli
• 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, sliced
• 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (for topping)
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish)
• Low-carb marinara sauce (for dipping)

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Arrange the slices of mozzarella cheese on the prepared baking sheet, keeping them slightly spaced apart for even melting.
3. Bake these cheesy beauties in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until they’re melted and bubbly.
4. Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and layer the ground beef or sausage on top of each melted slice of cheese.
5. Add a generous scoop of ricotta cheese on top of the meat, then sprinkle over the Italian seasoning and garlic salt for that delicious flavor boost.
6. Finish off each stack with another slice of mozzarella cheese, ensuring all those tasty layers are enclosed.
7. Pop the baking sheet back into the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the top layer of cheese is gloriously melted and just a bit golden.
8. Let the raviolis cool for a few minutes, then transfer them to a paper towel to soak up any excess grease.
9. Sprinkle your baked raviolis with the grated Parmesan cheese and serve them up with a side of low-carb marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy every cheesy bite!
