It was even more tasty than I'd imagined. But now I'm obsessed with this beet ravioli recipe with a mustard-marmalade brown butter sauce with beet stem rubies. I'll post it as soon as I finish writing it up.

I was lucky enough to be sitting at Sarah's kitchen table armed with a knife and fork while she tested this a million times and eventually perfected it. Awesome raviolis - you will want to eat 50 of them.
