This recipe is something I probably would have never come across If it weren’t for one of my fellow keto buddy Lee Ann Reich, who asked to come up with a ravioli that she used to eat a restaurant a while ago. It’s been closed down and of course it wouldn’t be keto friendly anyway. So this one’s for you Lee Ann, I hope you enjoy it!
The soft pillowy ravioli is filled with smoked salmon and ricotta. The lemon dill cream sauce is just delicious. It is such an amazing combination that it blew my mind when I tasted it.

Ingredients
FILLING:
- 1/3 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 oz smoked salmon
- 1 tablespoon parsley
DOUGH:
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- 2 large egg yolks
SAUCE:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- salt to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill plus more to garnish
- chives to garnish
Instructions
- Mix all the filling ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate.
- Microwave 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese for 2 minutes.
- Mix well and add 2 egg yolks. Mix well until it forms a dough.
- Put the pasta dough between two parchment papers and press with your hands to spread out. You can use a rolling pin to further spread the dough. Make sure to be gentle and not to put any pressure on the dough. So it doesn’t stick to the parchment paper.
- Cut the rolled dough in half using pizza cutter. Cut the one half of the dough further into small squares leaving the the other half untouched.
- Using a small spoon full each square with a small amount on filling. Make sure to bind and use any scraps to make more squares.
- Flip the the other half of the dough onto the filling and gently pull back the parchment paper.
- Press the dough around the filling with your fingers to seal the ravioli.
- Peel the ravioli off of the parchment paper and place onto a cooling rack. Place the rack in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours. This is very important part. if you don’t let the ravioli dry completely it will just melt when you cook. So let the ravioli sit on the rack in the refrigerator until dry to touch.
- Heat a large skillet and add the heavy cream, lemon juice salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and add the ravioli.
- Cook for about one minute on each side.
- Remove from the pan and add the dill in the pan. Mix and pour the sauce over the ravioli.
- Garnish with more dill and chives.

Notes
I made the ravioli using the famous Tasty 2 ingredient keto pasta. It works really well. I’ve made it 3 times to perfect. There is just one trick and that is to wait. You must let the ravioli dry in the refrigerator for at least 24-48 hours. It must be dry to touch or it won’t hold its shape and melt when you cook it. So have patience and I promise it’ll be worth it at the end.

How does the filling inside the ravioli get hot if you only cook it for 1 to 2 minutes? I’m assuming if it’s been in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours, it’s pretty cold inside the ravioli. Is there a way to ensure hot “pasta”?
