You will love it!

This creamy beetroot pasta is almost too pretty to eat. The base of the pasta is beetroot, which turns the sauce into a bright pink color. The addition of potatoes and nutritional yeast keeps the beautiful-looking sauce nice and creamy.

Chef Tosca Tip

Don't fuss over the cuts of the vegetables being perfect. They are going to get blended up so a rough chop will be just fine.

Ingredients

For the sauce:

  • ½ beetroot (small) - I used a huge one here but you get the picture lol
  • 2 small potatoes
  • 2 small red onions or shallots
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 1 dash of lemon juice
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Optional: chili flakes to taste

Other:

  • 220g Pasta of choice, I used Paccheri here
  • Fresh dill
  • Beet sprouts (or other sprouts of your choice)
  • Olive oil

Optional: chili flakes

method

  1. Peel the beetroot, potatoes and onions then roughly slice them
  2. Boil all vegetables in water for 15 minutes on medium/high heat
  3. At the same time, cook your favourite pasta as indicated on the package
  4. Drain the vegetables, keeping the cooking water. Blend all the ingredients for the sauce in a blender and add the water from the vegetables, little by little, until you have a smooth and creamy sauce
  5. Mix the sauce with your pasta and serve with a drizzle of olive oil, some dill leaves, sprouts and chili flakes to taste
