Ingredients

Beet sauce

1 cup raw beet chopped
2 cups soy milk* unsweetened, full fat
4 to 6 cloves garlic
1/3 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 to 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
Salt & pepper to taste
250 g pasta of choice I use red lentil pasta to up the protein and make it gluten-free
Handful fresh basil chopped

Instructions

Add all beet sauce ingredients to a blender and blend until until super smooth.
Add beet sauce to a large pan and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes to cook the garlic and beet, remove raw flavours and thicken the sauce. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
While the sauce is cooking, cook the pasta in a separate pot. Red lentil pasta cooks in about six minutes. For wheat pasta, you can cook in advance.
Toss cooked pasta into the beet sauce. Add fresh basil.
Top with fresh basic or colourful beets.

Notes

*To make this dish soy-free or allergen-free, use oat milk or a high-fat high protein unsweetened plant-based milk of choice.

The pasta dish came out light pink, which is what I was aiming for, but you can definitely up the amount of beet for a richer more fuchsia colour. Keeping in mind that the beet will add an earthy flavour.
