Spaghetti and Beetroot With Goats Cheese. image

Fabulous and strange beetroot dish by Gary Rhodes that I just had to share with everyone if only for the amazing fuschia colour the pasta turns.

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

225 g fresh beetroots
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
500 g spaghetti
600 ml chicken stock or 600 ml vegetable stock
175 g goat cheese

Steps:

  • Boil the beetroot for 15-20 mins until tender and skins rub off easily (remember to wear gloves!).
  • Grate the beetroot or process until shredded.
  • Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion and garlic until soft.
  • Break the spaghetti into smaller pieces and add to the pan, frying until golden.
  • Stir in the stock, bring to the boil and add the beetroot.
  • Cook for ten minutes until the spaghetti is soft and the sauce is creamy. Add more stock if neccesary.
  • At this point,taste and season. Sometimes I add a splash of balsamic to lift the flavour of the beetroot and a smattering of dried rosemary or thyme.
  • Stir in half the goats cheese, and serve with rest on top.
  • NB- I have done this with mozzerella which seemed to work for me.
