Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
While the pasta cooks, peel and chop the cooked beetroot into small pieces.
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.
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.
Return the skillet to the heat and pour in the beetroot sauce. Simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
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.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley and extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
