When you thought pasta couldn’t be any more dreamy – let me introduce you to Pasta Rosa! I absolutely love making this pasta as it’s healthy, delicious and it’s the perfect way to impress any pasta lover! It’s extremely easy to make too, all you need is a pan to boil your pasta and a blender for the sauce – which means you’ve got this impressive dish whipped up in no time! I sometimes like to make a little extra sauce to then keep in an airtight container in the fridge. It’s great the next day for a different type of pasta (like penne) or even as a dip or spread.

Ingredients

• 3 medium beetroots
• 1 onion
• 1 garlic clove
• 2 medium tomatoes
• Splash of red wine vinegar
• Olive oil
• Pinch oregano
• Salt and pepper
• Fresh basil
• 80 grams spaghetti

Method

1.  Peel and cut the onion, beetroot, garlic and tomatoes into small pieces.
2. Once everything is chopped place the onion, beetroot, garlic and tomatoes in a food processor. Then add a splash of red wine vinegar, pinch of oregano, a splash of olive oil and season with some salt and pepper, now blend until smooth.
3.  When your sauce is done boil some water with salt for your spaghetti and prepare as instructed on the package.
4. Once your spaghetti is done and drained place the spaghetti back into the pan and add your pink sauce – mix well.
5. Grab a hand full of fresh basil and cut them into long strips (julienne).
6. Place your Pink Pasta on a plate and finish off by sprinkling over the fresh basil, a little splash of olive oil and a little more salt and pepper if it needs it!

Buon appetito!
