Your leftover roasted beetroot …

 

Time is often of the essence in cooking for babies, so take last nights roasted beetroot leftovers, and make a whole new dish. This is wonderful, and so easy.

Beetroot pasta

3 or 4 roasted beetroots, see below a few entries ago

2 tablespoons olive oil

400g pasta

juice of half a lemon

200 mL single cream

1/2 cup parmesan

handful of toasted pine nuts

bunch of fresh basil

Peel beetroot and cut into chunks. Heat oil and saute garlic in a pan for a few minutes. Add beetroot, cook a few more minutes. Stir in lemon juice, lower heat and add cream, cook for 2 minutes until just hot. Combine beetroot mixture and cooked pasta, top with parmesan and basil (and toasted pine nuts for momma).
