What it is
A keto interpretation of the classic cannelloni, using thinly sliced zucchini as the 'pasta' tubes. These are filled with a savory mixture of seasoned ground beef and cheeses, then baked until bubbly and golden.
Key ingredients
Zucchini, ground beef (fatty), ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, egg, olive oil, onion (minimal), garlic, minimal tomato sauce (low sugar), salt, pepper, oregano.
If you order it anyway
Ensure only zucchini is used for the cannelloni 'pasta', no actual pasta. Confirm all cheeses are low-carb and the tomato sauce has no added sugar. Request no béchamel (white sauce) if it contains flour.
Watch out for
Actual pasta sheets instead of zucchini, sugar in tomato sauce, flour in béchamel sauce, excessive onion.
