    At 27 grams of carbs per serving, this is NOT low carb. I'm not sure why there are dates in this recipe, but most dates are very high in sugar (about 15+ grams of sugar per date) and the sugar content isn't even mentioned in the nutrition info! Leave out the dates and it sounds good. - 10/8/13

    Had difficulty slicing the squash thin enough, so I made it like a sandwich instead of hash tags. The raw marinara is nice. I added some hot pepper to mine. The ravioli was a bit bland and I was concerned about ensuring the ground turkey cooked sufficiently. The marinara sauce saved the dish. - 11/11/13

    The dates are probably there to cut the acidity of the tomato sauce. Almost all marinara and tomato sauces have some kind of sugar added to cut the acid. Dates are a great way to do it IMO. - 10/8/13

    I liked this recipe but I wasn't sure if the ravioli hashtags were cooked all the way. I had to cook them on the stove top afterwards just to be sure but I am always paranoid about not cooking the meat all the way. Other than that these are great. The raw marinara is AMAZING!! - 10/1/13

    I always use carrots to cut acidity but in this case I would probably just roast the tomatoes with the ravioli and blend the sauce afterwards. The roasting should sweeten those tomatoes up considerably but it would definitely taste different than raw marinara. - 10/8/13
