recipe
Step 1
In a pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Before straining, reserve a ladle of cooking water & set aside.
Step 2
In a food processor or blender, add garlic, cooked beets, ricotta, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, 1 tbsp of olive oil per serving & a splash of the reserved pasta water (about 1-2 tbsp per serving). Blend it all together until completely smooth. Taste & adjust the ingredients to your liking.
Step 3
Pour the beet sauce over the cooked pasta & mix to coat well. Serve with dollops of ricotta on top if you wish! Enjoy!
For fresh beets, clean them & drizzle with olive oil. Season with a bit of salt & wrap each individually in foil. Arrange each one on a sheet tray & roast in the oven at 400°F for about 45 min or until fork tender. Remove from the oven & cool. Gently remove the skins, then follow the rest of recipe!
