Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) ground Italian sausage, cooked and drained
- 24 slices provolone cheese
- 1 cup (113 g) mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tbsps (30 g) cream cheese
- 2 tbsps (30 g) sour cream
- ½ cup (120 ml) Rao’s marinara sauce
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper for precise cheese slice positioning.
- Filling Creation: Blend ground sausage, cream cheese, sour cream, and mozzarella in a mixing bowl until uniformly combined, ensuring a smooth, cohesive texture.
- Cheese Layer Formation: Strategically place provolone cheese slices on parchment-lined sheets, maintaining slight spacing between each slice for even heating.
- Initial Baking: Slide baking sheets into preheated oven, transforming provolone slices into bubbly, crisp-edged foundations within approximately 3 minutes.
- Ravioli Assembly: Once cheese slices cool slightly and remain pliable, carefully deposit sausage-cheese mixture onto one half of each slice, preserving a narrow perimeter.
- Sealing Process: Delicately overlay remaining provolone slices atop filled bases, gently pressing edges to create sealed, pocket-like structures.
- Final Crisping: Position assembled cheese pockets under broiler for 30 seconds, carefully monitoring to achieve optimal crispness without scorching.
- Resting and Serving: Allow ravioli to cool momentarily, permitting filling to stabilize and cheese to set before presenting this keto-friendly delicacy.
Notes
- Optimize Cheese Slice Placement: Ensure provolone slices are slightly separated on parchment paper to prevent merging and maintain individual ravioli shape.
- Monitor Baking Time Closely: Watch cheese slices for 3 minutes to achieve perfect bubbliness without burning, as timing is crucial for texture.
- Handle Cheese Slices Carefully: Allow brief cooling period (30-45 seconds) to maintain flexibility, enabling easy folding and filling without cracking.
- Seal Edges Precisely: Press ravioli edges gently but firmly during assembly to prevent filling leakage, creating a clean and professional-looking keto ravioli.
