Ingredients

• 400 g Tagliatelle pasta
• 3 medium Cooked beetroot
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 120 ml Heavy cream
• 50 g Parmesan cheese
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tagliatelle pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water and drain the rest. Set the pasta aside.

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, peel and chop the cooked beetroot into small pieces.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.

Step 4

Transfer the chopped beetroot and garlic into a blender or food processor. Add the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.

Step 5

Return the skillet to the heat and pour in the beetroot sauce. Simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Add the cooked tagliatelle to the skillet with the beetroot sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly, adding more reserved pasta water if needed to achieve a silky consistency.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.

Step 8

Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley and extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
