To cook this spaghetti, I used beet pulp, carefully blended and strained. A creamy Parmesan sauce and crushed pistachios complete the dish. Simple but tasty.

Cooking Instructions

30 minutes
  1. 1

    Blend and strain the beets carefully. In a pan, heat the olive oil, add a clove of garlic and the herbs tied together to form a bouquet. Let it infuse, then add the beet pulp and let it warm over low heat.

  2. 2

    In a small pot, pour the cream, bring it almost to a boil, and add the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix carefully until you have a smooth, lump-free cream. Remove from heat and keep warm.

  3. 3

    Cook the spaghetti in plenty of salted water for 3 minutes, then transfer them to the pan with the beet pulp and finish cooking, adding a ladle of water if the sauce becomes too thick. Remove the garlic and herbs.

  4. 4

    When the pasta is al dente, plate it, drizzle with the Parmesan cream using a parchment paper cone if desired, and sprinkle with crushed pistachios and a dash of pepper. Serve hot.
