Beetroot Ravioli in Poppy Seed Butter

Prep Time 3 hours
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 3 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 beetroots roasted cooled and grated
  • 125 g ricotta cheese
  • 2 tbsp bread crumbs
  • 50 g hazelnuts roasted and chopped
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 sprig rosemary chopped
  • 300 g '00' flour
  • 100 g egg yolks about 5
  • 50 g whole egg about 2
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp water
  • generous pinch salt
  • 57 g butter
  • 1.5 tsp poppy seeds
  • freshly grated parmesan

Instructions
 

  • Make the filling: mix together the grated beetroot, ricotta, 25g hazelnuts, egg yolk, breadcrumbs, and rosemary. Place in a piping bag or ziplock, and chill in the fridge.
  • Make the pasta dough: mix together the flour and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the egg yolks, eggs, water, and oil.
  • Make a well in the middle of the flour, and slowly stir in the liquid ingredients. Once the liquid has all been absorbed, press the mixture together with your hands. Gently knead together a few times on the table, wrap in cling film, and rest for 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Make the ravioli: roll out two lengths of dough to desired thickness. Place first sheet down on floured ravioli mould, fill with about a teaspoon of filling (snip end off ziploack bag for easy piping), cover with second sheet of dough, press and cut into ravioli.
  • Place finished ravioli in a single layer on a well floured tray.
  • Make the poppy seed and hazelnut buter: melt butter over medium heat with hazelnuts and poppy seeds until fragrant and nutty.
  • Cook pasta in boiling salted water, until they float and lighten in colour. Toss in the poppy seed butter, divide among plates, and top with freshly grated parmesan.
