Is ravioli high in carbs?
The number of carbs in ravioli can vary depending on the ingredients used in the dough and the filling. Traditional ravioli made with wheat flour pasta dough typically contain a significant amount of carbohydrates, averaging around 20-30 grams of carbs per 100-gram serving, depending on the size and thickness of the pasta and the specific recipe.
These low-carb ravioli recipe have just 2 grams net carbs for each ravioli. If you change the filling, you will need to adjust the nutritional information.
