  • 400 gram ricotta
  • 200 gram plain flour
  • 1 free range egg
  • 50 gram parmesan grated plus extra for serving

Now add the beet ricotta to the other half of your ricotta, parmesan, egg, nutmeg into a big bowl. Mix together and season to taste with salt and pepper. Gently mix in flour until dough just comes together. Tip it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Divide the dough into thirds, roll each piece to a 2 cm diameter rope, cut into 2 cm lengths into little pillows. 

  4. In the meantime bring a big pot with salted water to a boil. Cook gnudi, in batches, until they rise to the surface (takes about 2-3 minutes). Transfer with a skimming spoon into a sieve and drain with cold water.  

  5. Wash and pad dry the sage. 

  6. Cook butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat, add a few leaves of sage and wait until butter starts to brown. Add the gnudi and season to taste with salt and pepper.

When I was a child I didn’t like beetroot at all. With its earthy flavour and rich colour it was too healthy for my taste at that age. So here we are, about 30 years later and I really love beetroot. From beetroot risotto, to beetroot spread, pink beet dumplings or even as a smoothie, I really love it! There are so many beet recipes but these homemade beet ravioli with orange butter and mint, is one of my favourites. Because the pairing of beetroot, orange and mint is simply amazing!Most noteworthy I really enjoy making pasta at home. It’s so satisfying to prepare and knead pasta dough. Of course making fresh pasta by hand is always a bit of a process – but such a treat to eat – so I love making this recipe for special occasions from Christmas to a birthday to a special Sunday family meal.As I mentioned preparing the pasta dough takes a bit of time but the filling is pretty simple. Basically it’s beetroot, parmesan and ricotta topped with orange zest, orange butter and mint. Not to forget, a bit of parmesan.

What is your favourite beetroot recipe? Please share your feedback and pics of your beet recipes with us. Tag me on Instagram as @fifthfloorkitchen and use #fifthfloorkitchen hashtag. Love to see your pics!

Homemade beet ravioli with Orange butter

Homemade beet ravioli with orange butter, orange zest and mint

pasta dough

  • 300 gram plain flour
  • 42 fresh free range eggs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 50 ml water
  • 1 pinch salt

filling & topping

  • 2 medium beets (cooked and cut in 1 cm cubes)
  • 150 gram fresh ricotta
  • 30 gram fresh grated parmesan and some extra for serving
  • 1 small bunch parsley
  • 1 small bunch mint
  • 2-3 small twigs thyme
  • salt
  • pepper
  • zest of 1 orange
  • semolina for preparing the ravioli
  • 50 gram butter
  • 1 fresh free range egg for assembling the ravioli
  1. Sift the flour onto your work surface and make a well in the center, to drop the eggs and the water into the well. Use a fork and gently mix the eggs and then incorporate the flour from around the inside of the well. With the help of a scraper mix the ingredients. After a while the dough becomes thicker and you can start kneading it properly. Continue until you have a smooth, compact dough. Rub the outside or your dough with olive oil and knead it in. Cover the dough in cling film and set aside, for at least 15 minutes (up to 6 hours).

  2. For the filling: First set aside 2 tbsp of beet cubes for decoration. Mix the rest of the beets, ricotta, cheese, parsley, thyme, and salt and pepper (to taste) in a high speed blender until smooth. 

  3. Roll out the pasta dough with a pasta machine and put a tablespoon of filling on the lower side of the dough, about 4 cm apart from each filling. Mix the egg and with a brush, brush around the filling. Fold over the upper side of the dough and press down the dough around the filling. Use a pasta cutter to stamp them out or pasta roller, making sure that each one is sealed well. Let them rest on a plate covered with semolina until you’ve made the whole batch.

  4. Bring a pot of salted water to boil and put the ravioli gently into the pot. The pasta should float when cooked. Gently scoop them out with a slotted spoon and drain with some cold water.

  5. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a pan on gentle heat and and add orange zest (keep a bit for decoration). Keep an eye onto the butter, don’t let it get brown! 

  6. Now carefully lay the ravioli into the orange butter and cover with melted butter. Place them on your plates and add a few beet cubes, drizzle with orange zest, parmesan and not to forget fresh chopped mint. Bon Appetit!

I’m one of the biggest pasta lovers. I love pasta in every size and shape, with all the different sauces and different colours. The only that can go wrong when I cook pasta is the amount. I always cook too much pasta. I’ve got a whole cupboard full of pasta in different shapes. One of my favourite pasta recipes is this pumpkin orzo with creamy burrata and loads of fresh basil. Orzo sometimes also called rizoni is a small cut pasta in the shape of a giant grain of rice. It’s perfect for soups or creamy dishes like this dish. This pumpkin orzo with creamy burrata is a bit like a risotto just instead of rice I use orzo. The combination of sweet pumpkin, fresh basil and creamy burrata will send you on a little holiday to Italy.

This recipe is not only a wonderful weeknight dinner it’s also a delicious alternative to the usual risotto for your romantic candle light dinner. Make sure you use loads of fresh basil and real burrata. Mozzarella definitely won’t do the trick here!

I’ve to share with you today this simply delicious pasta in brodo with peas and Speck recipe. It is truly yummy and I’m going to eat it all November! The original recipe idea comes from the traditional Italian recipe Pasta e fagioli. But I wanted something fresh, contemporary and easy to digest. Not to mention, this recipe has it all. A bit of Italian tradition, healthy veggies, creamy ricotta and fresh mint. It’s the dinner dish you have been waiting for all year!As a matter of fact the recipe is really quick and easy, but the flavour is delightful complex. Pasta, bacon, peas, ricotta and mint are a dreamlike food pairing and fit so well together. In brodo is Italian and means in broth but I wouldn’t call it a soup because the main actor is pasta. The broth makes it juicy!

I absolutely love pasta and this round anelli pasta shape is perfect for this souplike dish. If you prefer other pasta shapes make sure you use small ones like fregula, ditalini or orzo.

Try this recipe and I promise you this will be your November favourite too! Share your take on this or any other of my recipes, I would love to see your pics. Tag me on Instagram as @fifthfloorkitchen and use #fifthfloorkitchen hashtag.

This quick and easy, thai noodle salad with shrimps and coconut dressing can be marinated, cooked and served in just 30 minutes! It’s a perfect weeknight dinner, light lunch or even a great alternative to the random pasta salad at every garden party. It’s spicy because of fresh chili and crunchy because of cashew nuts. It has everything an asian inspired salad needs to have.

The recipe is with ready cooked shrimps but you could also use fresh tiger prawns and throw them quickly on your BBQ. The recipe is not just perfect for all on a fructosefree diet but also for you gluten-free people because of the lovely rice noodles. For this recipe you should cook the pasta according to the package instructions until they’re pretty tender, then rinse them quickly in cold water. Usually I cook pasta al dente but note, if you use them for a salad the pasta needs to be tender so it’s not to hard when cold.

I’m pretty thrilled with this yummy miso and soba noodle soup with soy and sambal oelek roasted tofu, shiitake mushrooms, sugar snaps and edamame. It’s a perfect weeknight dinner because it’s so quick and easy to make. I’ve never been a big tofu fan because usually it’s tasteless and like chewing gum. I’ve been looking for different ways to cook tofu and found out about roasting it. This oven roasted tofu is so tasty and cripsy, a real pleasure to eat. 

I used to eat asian dishes like this Soba noodle soups with heaps of Sriracha-Sauce. So, when we found out about my Fructose Malabsorbation I had to take my favorite sauce of my list because it has heaps of garlic in it. Luckily the asian cuisine offers a wide range of spicy sauces and so now I spice up my food with Sambal Oelek. Sambal is a hot sauce typically made from a mixture of variety of chili peppers. Actually, it’s a raw chili paste and it is native to the cuisine of Indonesia. You can buy it online or in your Asia supermarket around the corner.

  • 100 gram sugar snaps
  • 1 tbsp roasted black & white sesame seeds
  1. Start with the Miso soup. Put the ginger slices, kombu and dried mushrooms in a pot with boiling water. Let it sit there while you prepare the rest of the ingredients (20 minutes). Gently strain the stock, leaving behind all the sand that may be sitting on the bottom of the pot (you can pour it through a coffee filter if you have one). Add half a cup of stock to the miso paste and stir it to loosen. Add the miso to the stock, and taste for salt, adding soy sauce and lime juice until you are happy the flavour.

  2. Preheat your oven to 200ºC. Place the tofu and sliced shiitake mushrooms on a baking tray with baking parchment and drizzle over sesame oil and soy sauce. Add the Sambal Oelek and toss to coat. Roast in the oven until the tofu is lightly crisp on the outside, tossing once or twice, about 10 minutes.

  3. Bring a large pot with salted water to boil. Add the noodles and cook, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the noodles are tender but not falling apart (check your package for cooking time). Drain the noodles and rinse them in cool running water. If not using immediately, toss with a bit of oil to prevent sticking. Otherwise, divide the noodles between 2 large bowls and keep warm.

  4. Heat up the stock until steamy-hot and add the edamame and sugar snaps. Cook just for 3 minutes until edamame and sugar are ready.

    Add the shiitakes and tofu to your bowls with soba noodles. Pour the hot broth with edamame and your sugar snaps over the fixings. Top with thai basil, sesame seeds and serve! Bon Appetit!
