"Made this as part of Thanksgiving dinner. It was a hit. Did not add the goat cheese at the end. It was already very rich. Otherwise made exactly as written. Next time would omit the bacon if making this as a side dish. If making as an entree I think toasted walnuts would be a better garnish. This would make a great dinner paired with a arug""

"I seriously doubt that the two previous reviewers actually made this recipe. While the beet pasta is pretty straightforward the filling recipe is problematic. I made it exactly as written since Mario has not failed me in the past, but it was very runny and only filled about 20 ravs even after I cut the filling down to a scant tablespoon (from 1 - 1/2). I cooked two up right away and the filling needs work--maybe garlic? Froze the rest and made linguine with the remaining beet pasta dough. I will figure out how to finish the dishes and am glad I made it up for DH & myself (OK I am getting tired of weekly beets from my CSA) rather than for guests.
