Ingredients
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup semolina flour
  • 1/2 cup soy flour
  • 1 cup chickpea flour
  • 2 tsp vital wheat gluten
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 cup beet juice
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2/3 cup pureed pumpkin
  • 2 tbsp fresh-grated Parmesan
  • 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp sage
  • 1/4 tsp dried rosemary

Directions
  1. In a large bowl, combine flours, gluten and salt.
  2. Stir in oil and beet juice with a fork to create a workable dough.
  3. Wrap in cling film and chill 2 hours.
  4. Meanwhile, in another bowl, beat ricotta, pumpkin and Parmesan together thoroughly.
  5. Add remaining ingredients and beat well to combine.
  6. Put filling into a Ziploc or piping bag and set into the fridge while rolling the pasta.
  7. On a well-floured surface, roll strips of dough out twice as wide as you want for the ravioli.
  8. Pipe small "dots" of the filling down one side of each strip.
  9. Fold dough over filling and seal around the dots, trimming excess dough away with a sharp knife.
  10. Place completed ravioli onto parchment-lined sheets and repeat with remaining dough and filling.
  11. Freeze sheets of pasta if not cooking immediately or cook in boiling salted water 5-7 minutes
