1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups fresh spinach (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup ricotta cheese
¼ cup parmesan cheese
¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Fresh basil for garnish
Cherry tomatoes

Instructions

Slice zucchinis thinly using a Y-shaped vegetable peeler and sprinkle with salt to draw out moisture. Let sit for 10 minutes, then pat dry.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and place marinara sauce in the bottom of an 8×11 baking dish.
Sauté spinach and garlic in olive oil until softened. Mix in ricotta, parmesan, basil, salt, and pepper.
Assemble ravioli by layering zucchini slices, placing filling in the center, folding over, and sealing. Arrange in the baking dish with cherry tomatoes.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted; broil for an additional 2 minutes.
