Description
Indulge in the perfect balance of earthy beets and creamy ricotta with these heart-shaped ravioli – a delicious and visually stunning dish that’s ready in just 30 minutes!
Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 3 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 pound cooked and diced beets
– 1 cup ricotta cheese
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
– 1 teaspoon lemon zest
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. In a food processor, combine the flour, eggs, and salt. Process until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
2. In a bowl, mix together the beets, ricotta, Parmesan, parsley, lemon zest, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Roll the dough out to 1/8-inch thickness. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes from the dough.
4. Place a teaspoon of the beet-ricotta filling in the center of each heart-shaped dough piece. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and press the edges to seal.
5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully add the ravioli and cook for 2-3 minutes until they float to the surface.
6. Serve the heart-shaped beet and ricotta ravioli warm, drizzled with olive oil or your favorite pasta sauce.
Notes
For an extra-special touch, you can garnish the ravioli with chopped fresh herbs or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
