what to do with beets? Erin, from the files, I love this recipe

[Guest guest]

Now this is one cool way to eat your beets. You can steam beets with short

stems intact so they don't bleed or you can bake them wrapped in foil for 45

mins. on 400 degrees. Like the name I gave this dish? So elegant!

 

" Rubies Wrapped in Ribbons "

 

1 1/2 to 2 lbs. fresh cooked beets, cooled and finely diced

1/3 cup olive oil

3 garlic cloves crushed

1/3 cup chopped onions

salt and red pepper flakes to taste

1/2 cup vgetable broth

1 lb. package of fettuchini or linguine noodles

 

Boil noodles until al dente (don't overcook the pasta) and drain.

While pasta is boiling and beets are cooling take a large skillet and heat over

medium heat with oilve oil and brown the onions, garlic and red pepper flakes

until firm tender. Add chopped beets and salt to taste, and toss over low heat

until mixture is coated and warmed through, add pasta and stir to heat as you

slowly add vegetable broth, stir over heat until hot and the pasta is evenly

colored.

Serve with or without parmesan cheese.

I just bought a bunch of beets (complete with their greens).

I understand the red pigment is really good for you!

 

So... What do I do with them? LOL.
