Ingredients
  

Noodles & Pasta
  • 2 cups beet noodles Can be spiralized or sliced into thin strips.
  • 1 cup cooked high-protein pasta (e.g., lentil pasta) Substitutes can be made with other high-protein options.
Flavor & Garnish
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (e.g., basil or parsley)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by peeling and spiralizing your beets. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can simply slice them into thin strips. Set aside.
Cooking
  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add in the high-protein pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving a bit of pasta water.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant, but be careful not to burn it!
  3. Add the beet noodles to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they soften slightly. Toss in the cooked high-protein pasta, mixing everything gently.
  4. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the reserved pasta water if needed for additional moisture. If you’re using Parmesan cheese, mix it in at this stage.
  5. Remove from heat, plate your dish, and garnish with fresh herbs for that extra pop of flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

For variations, consider using zucchini noodles or carrot noodles as alternatives. Pair with sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or cherry tomatoes for added flavor. Ensure beet noodles maintain some crunch.
