Ravioli with Beetroot, Smoked Ricotta and Giuseppe Giusti Balsamic Vinegar
-
Intermediate
This recipe may also be known as 'casunziei all’ampezzana', a type of beetroot and poppy seed ravioli commonly eaten in the Dolomites. It has a wonderful earthy yet sweet flavour, that is perfectly balanced by Giuseppe Giusti's Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. And the poppy seeds add just the right amount of crunch to contrast the smooth creamy filling.
This recipe was created by our friends at Giuseppe Giusti.
