major milestone in the continuing saga of the old Butterfield Hospital Asite was reached Tuesday (May 13) when the Cold Spring Village Board voted to approve the long-awaited B4A Zoning, paving the way for redevelopment of the 5.7-acre property. By a 4-1 margin, trustees agreed to amend the Village Code, establishing the site as a Medical and Health Care Facility Mixed Use District. Trustee Stephanie Hawkins cast the only “no” vote. Prior to the roll-call vote she questioned why the post office was included in the resolution but a senior citizen center was not. Anna Georgiou, special counsel to the Cold Spring Plan- ning Board said there was “no particular reason” — a statement that Chuck Voss, consultant to the Planning Board, agreed with. When Hawkins asked Voss if there were any guarantee that a new The Cold Spring Farmers’ Market, offering selections from fresh flowers to eggs, opened its outdoor season May 10 at Boscobel. post office and senior citizen center Photo by Michael Turton would be included in the project he responded “No” to both.

Adapted from Bon Appetit. Fresh sheep’s-milk ricotta is in season right now, and available for a short while at Union Square greenmarket; it makes this dish transcendent. If you can’t find it, use equal parts goat cheese and store-bought ricotta — the latter is too bland if used on its own. 3 small beets (about 14 ounces) salt and pepper ½ cup fresh sheep’s-milk ricotta (or ¼ 1¼ pounds fresh pasta (see note) cup ricotta plus ¼ cup goat cheese) 1 stick butter 2 tablespoons plain breadcrumbs 1 tablespoon poppy seeds ¼ teaspoon fresh lemon zest 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1. Heat oven to 400˚. Trim stems and tails from beets. Place in a small pan (a loaf pan will do) and cover tightly with foil. Roast about 40 minutes, or until tender when poked with a knife. Uncover pan and allow beets to cool. Peel off the skin, then grate using the medium-fine holes on a box grater. 2. Combine beets, ricotta, breadcrumbs, zest, and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside. 3. Roll the pasta dough almost thin enough to read a newspaper through. Lay on a lightly-floured work surface, and cut out circles using a biscuit or cookie cutter, or the rim of an overturned glass. Arrange circles on a floured cookie sheet as you go; cover with plastic wrap. (Scraps can be re- rolled and cut.) 4. Set up your ravioli-making workspace: Flour a surface plus two kitchen towels. Set a dish of water nearby, along with the bowl of beet filling and the pan of pasta circles. Working with 5 or 6 circles at a time (and keeping the remaining pasta covered), place a scant teaspoonful of filling on half of each circle. Dip your finger in water and dampen the edge of one circle; fold in half and pinch edges together to seal. Place finished raviolis between the floured towels as you go. (You can freeze the raviolis in a resealable bag at this point; when ready to cook, don’t thaw them, just dump them straight from the bag into boiling water.) 5. Heat a large pot of generously-salted water to a rolling boil. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt the butter and continue to cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. Stir in poppy seeds and remove from heat. Working in batches, boil raviolis about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to skillet. When all the raviolis are cooked, warm the skillet gently. Toss with half the Parmesan just before serving; pass the rest at the table.
