Did someone say Valentine’s Day?! Call me sad but I totally refuse to buy all this commercial rubbish that accompanies Valentine’s Day. Overpriced flowers, less than average food, poor restaurant service – you get the picture. One of the best ways to show someone how much you love and appreciate them is surely by cooking for them, right?! This would certainly work in my book!

WHY BEETROOT & ROSEMARY PASTA?

  • It comes together magically in 25 minutes, so it’s a perfect quick fix meal when you’re short of time but still want to make a delicious and healthy meal from scratch.
  • Although it’s simple and made with just a handful of ingredients, The combination of creamy pasta and flavourful rosemary make it taste absolutely divine!
  • If you’re into meal prep, add this recipe to your list!
  • It’s a great vegan recipe for a romantic Valentine’s dinner & the festive season.

To make this beetroot & rosemary penne pasta I used steamed ready to eat beetroot. I wouldn’t recommend using pickled beetroot, as the vinegar in the beetroot will affect the flavours of the dish and make it too acidy.

Personally, I think that beetroot and rosemary go really well together, however if you’re not a fan of rosemary you can replace it with basil, sage or oregano. Or whichever other herbs you like.

Enjoy your Valentine’s Day and best of all, cherish that company (yes, even if it’s your own company!).

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g (gluten free) penne pasta
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 200 g steam cooked beetroot (without vinegar)
  • 1 rosemary twig (leaves only) finely shopped
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 3-4 tbsp water
  • A handful of pine nuts (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Cooked pasta according to the packet instructions. 
  • Whilst pasta is cooking, add cooked beetroot, rosemary, mustard, garlic powder, salt & pepper & water into a blender and blend until smooth. You might want to add more water to keep the blender churning.
  • When pasta is cooked, drain it well and transfer back in the pan. Add the olive oil into the pan and mix well – this will stop pasta from sticking together. Pour the beetroot source into the pan and mix well to ensure the pasta is well coated.
  • Serve with pine nuts and a sprinkle of fresh rosemary.

    Hello, just stumbled on your blog. What an extremely interesting and unique pasta dish. I love beets and pasta, however, I have never had the privilege of enjoying them together. I will put this on our list of recipes to try.

    This is an interesting way to use beets. I come from a Ukrainian background, so borscht is my go-to for beets. I wonder if my grandkids would think this is neat? I will have to experiment and see.

      Hi Gloria. I come from Russia and, as you very well know, beetroot is definitely one of the staple veggies in the Russian cuisine! I was brought up on my mum’s borsch and I really hope I did beetroots some justice with this recipe:) I hope your grandkids will enjoy it too! Have a great day x

#ad Looking back at Veganuary last year, there wer #ad Looking back at Veganuary last year, there were nowhere near as many plant-based options in the supermarkets as there are this year. Personally, I find it so much easier to eat plant-based now when there's such an abundance of delicious vegan products, even in the local shops.This @coopuk GRO plant based  mushroom & spinach Wellington from my local Co-op tasted absolutely divine - 'meaty' & creamy on the inside & crunchy & crisp on the outside👌🏻 It's gone down like a treat with my (rather fussy) daughter too, which makes me one happy mum, I must say! ☺️I'm so pleased that Co-op are extending their plant-based offer this January & nearly doubling the choice of their vegan GRO products from winter-warming spiced pie to Asian-inspired noodles, there will be plenty of choices to suit all taste buds 😋 This makes eating plant-based so easy & rather exciting too. Pop in to your local Co-op and check it out for yourself 😉#Veganuary #ItsWhatWeDo

No problem 😎 This quick & easy vegan broccoli & cheese soup that I made with @violife_foods Epic Grated Mature Cheddar is comfort food at its best, especially during these cold winter days.
