If you're looking for a unique spin on your everyday pasta dish, it's all about the beets
The cheerful hue of this unique pasta dish is sure to impress your dinner guests
Its allure has everything to do with the fact that it’s made with beets (food of the gods, as far as I’m concerned). Not only do they offer a nice alternative to tomato sauce, but they also create a colour that is so uniquely beautiful on the plate, it makes for the perfect meal to serve guests.
That said, it does require a fair amount of elbow grease to grate up all the beets required. Get comfortable with pink fingernails, and be sure to protect any light-coloured surfaces, as you will get beet bits all over the place. And, if help is in the house, get another grater going to speed up the prep.
Instructions
For best results, pre-heat the plates in the oven, as the pasta does have a tendency to cool off quickly. Fortunately, your dinner companions will be so wowed by the beauty of this dish, they won’t notice if it’s a wee bit cool when it hits their palette.
Bon apetit!
