  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 250g pasta (spaghetti, fettuccine, or your choice)
– 2 medium-sized beetroots, peeled and chopped
– 1 cup heavy cream or coconut cream for a vegan option
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh basil or parsley for garnishing
– Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for non-vegans)


Instructions

Creating Valentine’s Day Pasta with Beetroot Pink Sauce is enjoyable and uncomplicated when you follow these steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Beetroot: While the pasta is cooking, add the chopped beetroot to a saucepan with enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
3. Blend the Beetroot: In a blender, combine the cooked beetroot, heavy cream (or coconut cream), olive oil, and minced garlic. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Combine Sauce and Pasta: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the beetroot sauce. Allow it to warm up for a few minutes before adding the drained pasta.
5. Toss Together: Gently toss the pasta in the sauce until it’s well coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
6. Garnish: Serve the pasta hot, garnished with fresh basil or parsley. If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top.

These steps will guide you to create a beautiful and delicious dish that embodies love and warmth.
