Cannabis-Infused “Emerald Zucchini Ribbon Ravioli with Lemon Burrata”

As spring arrives and heavier winter dishes fade, fresh green vegetables take center stage. This elegant zucchini ribbon ravioli captures that seasonal shift beautifully. Instead of traditional pasta, delicate ribbons of zucchini wrap around a creamy lemon burrata filling, creating a light yet indulgent dish. Finished with a bright cannabis-infused lemon herb oil, it delivers vibrant flavor, refined presentation, and precise dosing for a memorable St. Patrick’s Day dinner.

A Note on Dosing

This recipe serves 4 plates.

Using 1.5g of 15% THC flower:

~55mg THC total (infused into the finishing oil)
~12–14mg per plate

For lighter servings:
• 1g flower → ~8–9mg per plate
• 2g flower → ~16–18mg per plate

All cannabis is infused into the finishing oil to ensure consistent distribution.
