Heart Shaped Beet Root Ravioli

Ingredients: 

Pasta:

• 2 cups Carrington Farms Semolina Flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 egg yolks 
  

Beet Juice:

• ½ cup water
• 2 tbsp Carrington Farms Beet Root Powder

Ravioli filling:

• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• ½ cup  grated Parmesan
• Zest of 1/4 lemon
• Chopped fresh parsley
• Salt and Pepper

Directions:

1. Whisk together water and Carrington Farms Beet Root Powder until fully incorporated.
2. On a clean surface, pile your Carrington Farms Semolina Flour and make a well in the center. Add eggs + beet juice. Using a fork, carefully drag the inside ring of flour into the center and mix to gradually incorporate all flour. Use a dough cutter or your hands to knead as dough begins to form. 
3. Once dough is completely mixed, cut in two parts and begin rolling both pieces (individually) on a floured surface (add flour to rolling pin) to as thin as you can get them. 
4. In a mixing bowl, combine all filling ingredients and mix. Transfer to a piping bag or sandwich bag (cut a piping tip in the corner).
5. Use your heart shaped ravioli cutter to measure how far you need to space out the filling. Pipe quarter sized amounts evenly spaced on the bottom ravioli sheet. Once full, lay the top sheet over top and stamp out your raviolis. Combine dough scraps and re-roll to make more raviolis until you’ve used it all. 
6. Boil for about 2-3 minutes and strain.
