Indulge in flavorful Beetroot Ravioli, a vibrant dish bursting with savory goodness. With its vibrant pink hue and earthy, sweet flavor, you'll love the taste of this recipe.
Mix flour, eggs, olive oil, salt, and grated beetroot in a bowl.
Knead the mixture until it forms a smooth, elastic dough.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
In a blender or food processor, blend roasted beets, goat cheese, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Roll out the pasta dough into thin pasta sheets using a pasta machine or a rolling pin.
Place small dollops of the beet and goat cheese mixture onto one pasta sheet, leaving space between each dollop.
Brush the edges with a bit of water to ensure they remain sealed while cooking.
Gently place another pasta sheet on top of the filling. Press down around each mound of filling to seal the ravioli.
Use a ravioli cutter or a sharp knife to cut out individual ravioli pieces. Ensure they are properly sealed.
Boil a large pot of salted water. Carefully add the ravioli and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the top.
In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add lemon zest and juice. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Drain the cooked ravioli and gently toss them in the lemon butter sauce.
Plate the beet ravioli, drizzle with extra lemon butter sauce, and garnish with fresh herbs of your choice or dried chives and crumbled goat cheese.
Notes
Cook Ravioli in Batches: Avoid overcrowding the pot when cooking the ravioli to ensure they cook evenly and don't stick together.Handle with Care: When transferring the ravioli from the boiling water to the serving plate, use a slotted spoon to gently lift them out, ensuring they remain intact.Experiment with Fillings: While this recipe calls for a beet and goat cheese filling, don't hesitate to get creative with other fillings such as spinach and ricotta or mushroom and Parmesan to diversify your pasta recipes.
