Instructions

  1. 1 Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan until shimmering.
  2. 2 Add beets, then onion; saute, stirring very little at first, then more frequently, until squash start to turn golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
  3. 3 Reduce heat to low and add butter, sugar and garlic; continue cooking until all vegetables are a rich spotty caramel color, about 10 minutes longer.
  4. 4 Add caraway seeds and cayenne pepper; continue to saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
  5. 5 Add broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until beets are tender, about 10 minutes.
  6. 6 Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree (adding fresh dill) until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If using a traditional blender, vent it either by removing the lid's pop-out center or by lifting one edge of the lid. Drape the blender canister with a kitchen towel. To 'clean' the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup.)
  7. 7 Return to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.

Instructions

  1. 1 Fill a pot with 3 inches of water, insert a steamer basket, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium or medium-low and place beets inside the steamer basket. Cover pot. Cook until beets are easily pierced with a knife, checking water level periodically, 35 to 50 minutes. Remove from heat and cool, about 30 minutes.
  2. 2 Peel the beets; if you are using red and golden beets, peel the golden ones first so you don't end up turning them pink. Remove any remaining root stems. Thinly slice beets and arrange on a serving platter. I use a round plate and start in the center, alternating red and golden beet slices. Dot the top with goat cheese – you want to be able to see the beets but have enough cheese because it pairs so well with the beet. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
  3. 3 Combine rice vinegar, olive oil, mint, and sugar in a small bowl. Drizzle over beets.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. 2 Individually wrap beets, onion, and garlic in aluminum foil. Place on a baking sheet.
  3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven until beets and onion are fork-tender, about 1 hour depending on size. Remove garlic once soft, after about 30 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
  4. 4 Meanwhile, prepare the dough. Mix all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and mix in eggs. Gradually add water 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough comes together, adding more water as needed depending on how dry your dough is.
  5. 5 Turn dough out onto a work surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Divide dough into 4 portions, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  6. 6 For the filling: Peel beets, onion, and 3 garlic cloves (reserve remaining garlic for another use). Quarter beets and onion and transfer to a food processor with garlic. Pulse until smooth, scraping down sides as necessary. Add salt, pepper, dill, and goat cheese. Pulse several times until well combined.
  7. 7 Remove 1 piece of chilled dough from the fridge. Shape into a rough rectangle about 3x4 inches. Pass the dough through a pasta roller according to the manufacturer's instructions until dough is about 1/16-inch-thick. Cover pasta sheet with a damp kitchen towel to prevent it from drying out. Repeat with additional pieces of pasta dough, as needed.
  8. 8 Lay one sheet of pasta on your work surface. Scoop teaspoon-sized portions of beet filling onto dough about 3 inches apart. Lightly brush water around edges of filling. Gently place another sheet of pasta over filling. Press pieces together around filling, removing as much air as possible. Seal firmly.
  9. 9 Using a 2 1/2-inch cutter, cut ravioli from dough, ensuring filling is as centered as possible. Gently press edges again to seal. Place finished ravioli on a lightly floured baking sheet. Continue making pasta and filling raviolis until all the beet filling is used. Wrap any remaining dough and freeze for future use.
  10. 10 To serve, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently boil ravioli in batches until they rise to the top, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from water with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  11. 11 Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a second saucepan over medium heat. Add a few ravioli at a time to the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Flip over and cook an additional 2 minutes. Serve garnished with dill and goat cheese.
