Fettuccine with Roasted Beet Sauce
Ingredients
  • 3 beets, cut into quarters
  • 1 small sweet onion, cut into quarters
  • 1 head garlic, cloves peeled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 (16 ounce) package dry fettuccine pasta
  • 1 tablespoon shredded Parmesan cheese, or to taste
  • 1 pinch chopped fresh thyme, or to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) for optimal results.
2
Combine the beets, onion, and garlic cloves in a large mixing bowl. Add a generous amount of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, salt, and pepper; thoroughly mix to coat the ingredients evenly.
3
Place the combined beet mixture on a baking sheet and transfer it to the preheated oven for roasting. Roast until the beets are cooked through and tender, taking approximately 1 hour to achieve this.
4
Remove the beets from the oven and let them cool for 10 to 15 minutes, allowing you to handle them comfortably.
5
Remove the beet skins and transfer the mixture to a food processor for further processing. Add a sufficient amount of vegetable broth and lemon juice; pulse until the mixture reaches your desired consistency.
6
Transfer the processed beet mixture to a saucepan and stir in 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese until it is fully melted. Set the beet sauce aside for later use.
7
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rolling boil. Cook pasta at the boiling point until it is tender yet still retains some firmness to the bite, taking approximately 8 minutes to achieve this.
8
Drain the cooked pasta and return it to the pot. Pour the beet sauce over the pasta, thoroughly mixing until well combined.
9
Top your pasta with 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese and a pinch of additional thyme for added flavor.
