Mediterranean Creamy Beet Sauce Pasta (Pink Sauce)
This Creamy Beet Pasta is a unique pasta sauce recipe that's absolutely scrumptious, eye-catching, and healthy! A fun way to spruce up your pasta game.
Clean, peel, and dice beets. Boil until fork tender, about 20-30 minutes.
To Make the Beet Sauce
To a food processor, add beets, half and half, feta, olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth.
Transfer the beet sauce mixture to a saucepan on low-medium heat.
Bring to a light simmer until warmed completely. Typically takes about 10 minutes.
While the sauce is simmering, cook the pasta according to the package. Drain and set aside in a colander until ready to start plating.
To Serve
Plate pasta in a rimmed plate, pasta bowl, or shallow bowl.
Top the pasta with the creamy beet sauce and sprinkle parsley, feta, marinated artichokes, and meat of choice.
Notes
Storage: In an airtight container or Ziploc bag in the fridge for up to 4 days. Keep pasta, garnishes, and sauce separate. To Reheat The Sauce: Place in a saucepan on low heat and allow to slowly come to a simmer. Stir occasionally to avoid it from sticking. Avoid it boiling. Toppings: Add any protein of choice, I like to use grilled chicken or grilled cod. Both complement the beet sauce well. Add feta to beet pasta last minute. The white color takes on the beet color fast.Tag @theperfecttide when you make it!*calories are only an estimate.
