Ricotta Filled Pasta Shells With Beets & Borscht

What a perfect lunch! I had craved this for aout a week now and finally made it: pasta shells filled with VwaV's Tofu Basil Ricotta with chunky beets and borscht.

This time I pureed some beets to make it a little thicker.

Yummm!

Lizzy hat gesagt…: Nikki - I have never seen or tried golden beets so I have no idea what they taste like, sorry! But maybe just give it a try!?

Herbivore - Thanks! It was just the right kick in this dish =)

Ruby - I love the name!!!
Yippie Yay, I hope you'll have a blast aswell as delicious vegan food =)

Katie - And as usual I happily would! Can you teach me how to use chopsticks properly in return?

Cecilia - Thanks! I'm a sucker for beets, too. I often eat them straight from the jar ♥

Erin - It really was! But I admit that I was a little suspicious at first, too because this is the first time I tried the ricotta and didn't know if the cheezy-garlic taste would fit. Luckily I tried it because it was wonderful!

mad about udon - it took me a while to finally make it, but i'm glad i did because it served well in last nights lasagna aswell =)

Alice - To be honest the only things I make with beets are: eating them plain, adding them to salads or sandwiches and cooking borscht ;)

Mihl & anardana - Thanks =); 21. Juli 2008 um 13:44
