INGREDIENTS

  • Vegetables

    • 3 beets, cut into quarters
    • 🧅 1 small sweet onion, cut into quarters
    • 🧄 1 head garlic, cloves peeled

  • Seasonings

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
    • 🧂 ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • Liquid Ingredients

    • ½ cup vegetable broth
    • 🍋 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    • 1 cup heavy cream

  • Other Ingredients

    • 🧀 ½ 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

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

2

Combine beets, onion, and garlic cloves in a large bowl. Add olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper; toss to coat. Transfer to a baking sheet.

3

Roast in the preheated oven until cooked through and tender, about 1 hour.

4

Remove from the oven and let cool until beets can be handled, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove and discard beet skins.

5

Transfer mixture to a food processor. Add vegetable broth and lemon juice; pulse until smooth. Transfer to a saucepan.

6

Stir heavy cream into beet mixture in the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until it begins to simmer, about 5 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted. Set beet sauce aside.

7

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook pasta at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

8

Pour beet sauce over pasta and toss until well combined. Top with shredded Parmesan cheese and additional thyme to taste.
