Although they take some time, these Beet Green Ravioli are super fun to make, and so delicious.
Ingredients
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 cups chopped beet greens (stems included)
  • 2 yellow onions (diced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup beef stock (any stock will work)
  • ½ cup of crumbled feta cheese (feel free to switch up the cheese, ricotta would be great!)
  • Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. In a large pan, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and heat to just over medium.
  2. Once heated, add onions, sauteeing for about 5 minutes, then add beet greens.
  3. Saute beet greens for about 8 minutes, then add minced garlic, sauteeing for another 2 minutes before adding beef stock.
  4. Once beef stock is added, continue cooking until liquid has been absorbed/reduced.
  5. Add feta cheese, and season to taste with salt & pepper.
  6. If you find the mixture slightly bitter, a few pinches of sugar, or some honey can help!
  7. Remove from heat and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes.
  8. While cooling, you can get started on pasta dough (find the recipe linked above).
  9. Once cooled, place beet green mixture into a food processor, and process until combined and there are no large chunks.
  10. Remove to a large bowl, and refrigerate until ready to use.
  11. Once you have finished making your pasta dough, roll sheets to the thinnest setting, and cut circles from the sheets of pasta. using a circle cookie cutter (or the mouth of a glass).
  12. Place cooled beet green filling into a large ziploc bag, cut a small piece off the corner, and squeeze filling into the middle of your pasta circles.
  13. Have a bowl of water nearby, dip wet your finger, and run it around the edge on one half of the pasta dough.
  14. Pick up the circle of pasta with your hands, fold it in half, pinch around the edges to seal, and press the sealed edges with a fork,
  15. Place ravioli on a cookie sheet lined with flour dusted parchment paper.
  16. If you're not cooking the ravioli immediately, place the cookie sheet in the freezer for 30-60 minutes. Once frozen, place them in a large ziploc bag/container and store in the freezer.
  17. If using immediately, cook them in a pot of boiling water, about 2 minutes, until they begin rising to the top.
  18. While they are boiling, get a pan on medium-high heat.
  19. Add a generous knob of butter, and a 4-5 leaves of sage.
  20. Once ravioli are boiled, and your pan of butter is heated, strain the ravioli, then saute them in the butter 2-3 minutes.
  21. Serve grated with parmesan cheese and freshly ground pepper.
