Instructions
  1. Prepare the carrots: Wash, peel, and trim the carrots. Cut into pieces small enough to fit through your juicer.
  2. Juice the carrots: Feed the carrot pieces through a juicer and collect the fresh carrot juice in a container.
  3. Prepare the citrus: Peel the lemon and orange, removing as much of the white pith as possible to avoid bitterness.
  4. Juice the citrus: Juice the lemon and orange using a citrus juicer or by hand.
  5. Strain the juices: Pour the citrus juice through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any pulp or seeds. This will create a smoother final drink.
  6. Muddle the mint: Place 3-4 mint leaves in the bottom of a glass and gently muddle (press with a muddler or the back of a spoon) to release the oils and aroma.
  7. Combine the juices: Pour the carrot juice and strained citrus juices over the muddled mint in the glass. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
  8. Garnish: Add a fresh sprig of mint or cilantro and a slice of orange or lemon to the rim of the glass.
Serving Options
  1. For a spritzer: Top with chilled sparkling water and add ice if desired
  2. For straight juice: Serve as is for a more concentrated flavor
  3. For a cocktail: Add 1.5 oz (45ml) of vodka, gin, or white rum
Tips
  1. For best flavor, serve immediately while fresh
  2. If making ahead, store the juice mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours
  3. For a sweeter drink, add a small amount of honey or agave syrup
  4. For an extra refreshing twist, add a few thin slices of cucumber

For Ravioli

Instructions
Basic Pasta Dough
  1. Place the flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pulse 2 to 3 ties to combine.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and olive oil until well blended. Pour egg mixture into the bowl of the food processor. Pulse 10 times or so to blend the egg mixture and flour together. Steadily process the mixture for a few seconds at the end if needed. If the mixture is too dry, sprinkle water in while pulsing a few more times.
  3. Turn the mixture out onto a well-floured surface. Knead to bring together and smooth the dough out. Place the dough in a bowl with a cloth bowl cover and let rest for at least 30 minutes or tightly wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for up to 1 to 2 days.
Roasted Carrot Puree
  1. Adjust oven racks so that one is on the top third level and the other is on the bottom third level. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Cut the carrots in half lengthwise and divide between two sheet pans. Drizzle the oil over the carrots and sprinkle with salt, and pepper. Toss well and arrange the carrots on each pan into one layer.
  3. Place the carrots in the oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, until tender and starting to brown.
  4. Remove the carrots from the oven and set aside to cool. Once cool, transfer the carrots into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Add the goat cheese and blend until smooth.
  5. Purée can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to use as a filling. It can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for future use. Place in fridge overnight to thaw filling if you freeze it.
For Ravioli
  1. Make an egg wash by beating the egg in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon of water. Set aside.
  2. Working with 1/4 at a time, roll the pasta to desired thickness, then cut the pasta sheets into 4 ½-inch strips about 12-inches long.
  3. Place 1 teaspoon of filling on the pasta sheet, leaving about 1 ½-inches between each. Using a pastry brush or basting brush, brush the egg wash around the filling. Fold the top half of the pasta over the bottom, pressing out any air pockets. Using a pizza cutter or ravioli cutting wheel, cut out the ravioli and place on a well floured sheet pan. Toss the ravioli to lightly coat in flour to avoid sticking. Repeat with the remaining pasta and filling.
  4. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Working in batches, cook the ravioli for 2 minutes, then, using a slotted spoon or spider, transfer to a colander set over a bowl. While hot, toss the drained ravioli with sauce that it will be served in. Be sure the sauce is warmed.
