Prepare all of the vegetables for the pasta sauce. While they simmer, slice the beets and broccoli. Boil the water. Sear the beets. Toss the pasta with the blended sauce and optional cheese or an extra sprinkle of nutritional yeast. Steam the broccoli. If using cheese, an extra sprinkle on the broccoli would be lovely as well.
Imagine orange colored macaroni, but without any of the orange-powder packets… or even any cheese. This is simply veggies pureed into a sauce that coats the pasta. You may be happy leaving it vegan or you may add a generous handful or two of shredded cheddar (our preference as we are cheese obsessed). Either way, this is creamy, almost sweet & nutty goodness— and as a bonus it looks just like Macaroni n Cheese.
At the start of spring or fall, baby beets arrive and if you are lucky they will still have their greens attached looking oh so charming. With a rough scrub and a sharp knife these thin beet slices sear up to quickly become salty-olive oil-chip-like. If you enjoy Kale Chips- these are rather reminiscent.
Refreshing bright green florets are a colorful, nutritious, simple side.
