Ingredients :

(Serves 3 in a group)

Scrub+ Cut + Boil

  • Scrub the beet with a vegetable scrubber, Cut one beet into quarters, and put in a pot of boiling water. Boil until tender enough to slide a knife into the center with ease. If the water drops below the beet, add more and bring it to a boil again. Once tender, drain
    and set the beet aside until cool enough to handle.

Cook + Al dente + Drain

Chop + Squeeze + Blend

  • Chop shallots and mint; squeeze lemon while the pasta and beet cooks. Once the cooked beets are cooled, use your thumbs to rub the skin off the beets. Put beets in a blender with 1⁄4 cup pasta cooking water, ricotta, olive oil, lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon salt and run until smooth.

Mix + Add + Serve

  • Pour the sauce over the top of cooked spaghetti and toss well. Drizzle on a little more pasta cooking water if it doesn’t look nice and glossy.Garnish with Parmesan and serve.
