Make pasta dough and let it rest. 2. Chop up the boiled beets (I always use the finest grating disc on the cuisinart) and toast it lively with 90 grams of butter and a pinch of salt. Mix it with the ricotta and if the resulting mix is too wet, mix in a little bread crumbs. 3. Roll out pasta and form ravioli. Can be made ahead and frozen at this point. 4.
