Red Beet Ravioli (Casunziei Rossi)
(Serves 6)
Raviol with red beet filling, also called casunziei rossi, are from the Lombardy and Veneto regions of Italy. Casunziei is the term given to the folded half-moon shaped ravioli in these regions. They are also sometimes called Christmas Beet Ravioli because they are often served for Christmas. The beet-red filling shows through the dough and gives the ravioli a beautiful rosy color. They are traditionally served with a butter and poppy seed sauce. Beet ravioli are a nice accompaniment to ham or pork loin.
