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.
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.
Beets are rich in fiber, vitamins and antioxidants, making them a healthy ingredient that adds color and flavor while aiding digestion.
You can add fresh herbs like basil or mint, or replace the ricotta with goat's cheese for a more pronounced touch.
Beet juice brings a sweet, mild flavor and a lovely pink color to the sauce, creating a visual and gustatory contrast with the ravioli.
