Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Beetroot Feta Pasta
  1. Peel and chop the beetroots into bite-sized pieces. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add chopped beets and a pinch of salt, cover, and simmer for 13-15 minutes until fork-tender.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
  3. In a blender, combine cooked beetroots, sautéed garlic, crumbled feta, lemon juice, and reserved pasta water. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  4. In the pot used for the pasta, add drained pasta and beetroot sauce. Toss until evenly coated, adding more pasta water for desired consistency.
  5. Plate the pasta, garnish with additional crumbled feta and fresh herbs, and serve immediately.
