Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Individually wrap beets, onion, and garlic in aluminum foil. Place on a baking sheet.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
