FAQ ❓

How do you slice the beet so thinly to make ravioli?

The use of a mandolin is essential to obtain thin, even slices, which facilitate the formation of the ravioli and ensure a pleasant texture in the mouth.

Can I prepare this recipe in advance without spoiling the freshness of the ravioli?

It's best to prepare the ravioli just before serving to preserve their texture and freshness, but you can prepare the filling and sauce in advance and assemble at the last minute.
