Ingredients
- 400 g beets
- 100 g feta cheese
- 1 szt garlic
- 4 łyżka olive oil
- 400 g pasta
- 1 łyżeczka salt
- 1 łyżeczka black pepper
- 1 łyżeczka dried oregano
- 1 łyżeczka dried basil
Preparation
- 0. If the beets aren't cooked, wash 400 g of beets, peel them, and dice them. Boil them in salted water for about 40 minutes until tender—they should be easy to pierce with a fork. Drain and let cool. (Skip this step if you’re using pre-cooked beets.)
- 1. Cook 400 g of pasta in salted water until al dente, following the package directions. Drain, reserving 100 ml of the cooking water.
- 2. Add the cooked beets (400 g), crumbled feta cheese (100 g), a pressed clove of garlic, 4 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano, and basil to a blender. Add 50–100 ml of the pasta cooking water to achieve a smooth consistency. Blend until creamy.
- 3. Heat the sauce in a skillet over medium heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the cooked pasta and toss to coat it well with the sauce. Season to taste if needed.
- 4. Serve immediately, optionally sprinkled with additional crumbled feta cheese.
