Steps
For convenience and just for convenience, I bought pre-cooked and vacuum-packed beetroot, which is available in all supermarkets and greengrocers, an excellent product that helps and facilitates us in the kitchen. I put it in the blender and reduced it to a pulp.
For this preparation, I used semolina flour, which makes the fresh pasta more rustic. I placed the flour on the cutting board and in the center the pureed beetroot.
Work the two ingredients, adding flour as needed, the dough should be soft and elastic. Let it rest for 30 minutes covered.
With the help of the rolling pin, roll out the sheet, you can also use the pasta machine to make it thinner.
Use the heart mold over the dough and
insert the seasoned ricotta with salt and extra virgin olive oil, pepper, finely chopped parmesan, and thyme inside.
Lay another sheet of dough on top, roll with the rolling pin to flatten, proceed this way for all the dough and filling you have available, cut the edges with a knife for each individual ravioli and
here are your Valentine Red Ravioli ready
Season the red ravioli simply with butter melted in a small pan with sage and add parmesan when serving.
