Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

  • 1 pound red beets, cleaned with leaves and stalks removed
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup of water
  • 1 package Organic Whole Wheat Linguine
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 Tbsp walnut oil
  • ¼ cup walnuts, finely chopped (optional)
  • 2 Tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ cup pasta water
  • 4 Tbsp soft goat cheese

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the beets in a glass or ceramic baking dish. Mix with the olive oil and water. Cover with foil. Bake until the beets are tender through, about 1 hour. Let cool.

2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Peel the beets and cut into chunks. Add to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade and process to a rough puree. Add the linguine to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions.

3

Add the butter to a 10-inch skillet. Turn on the heat to high. Brown the butter, about 2 minutes. Add the olive oil. Add the chia seeds and walnuts and toast for 2 minutes. Add the pureed beets, salt, and the pasta water to the skillet. Stir to fully incorporate.

4

Use a wire-mesh skimmer or tongs to remove the linguine from the pot and place them directly into the skillet with the puree-sauce. Stir to combine.

5

Divide the linguine into equal portions and place on warm plates. Use two round or oval soup spoons to form little balls of the goat’s milk cheese. Place a ball on top of each serving.

6

Serve immediately.

You have no idea how good it is ! -)))
