Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 280 g Reginette pasta
- 4 Shallots
- 2 Cloves garlic
- 1 Pack cooked beetroot dipped in vinegar
- 2 tsp Olive oil
- 200 ml low fat sour cream
- 2 Large handfuls rocket
- 1 Small bunch chives, finely chopped
- Salt&pepper
Method
1. Boil a kettle of water, pour into a large saucepan and bring back to the boil. Cook the pasta according to the pack instructions.
2. While the pasta is cooking roughly chop the shallots, garlic and beetroot. Heat the oil in a saucepan and sauté the shallots for 5-6 minutes until they start to soften. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes.
3. Take off the heat and add the beetroot and sour cream to the pan. Blend the mixture using a hand blender or food processor to a coarse sauce. Taste and season well with salt and black pepper
4. Once the pasta is cooked, drain and return to the pan. Pour the warm sauce over the pasta and toss to coat the pasta well. In a separate bowl dress the rocket with a little oil or your favourite dressing (optional).
5. Scatter a little rocket over each plate then top with the beetrooty pasta. Drizzle over any sauce left in the pan and sprinkle over the chives. Top with the remaining rocket and a few shavings of parmesan (optional).
