SAUTéED BEETS WITH PASTA, SAGE AND BROWN BUTTER



Sautéed Beets With Pasta, Sage and Brown Butter image

Give a cook a beet, and he'll probably do one of two things with it: Reject it for fear of turning the kitchen into a juicy red crime scene, or roast it and serve it with goat cheese. I can take this marriage or leave it, but even if you love it, you must admit that it only scratches the surface of what beets have to offer. More than half the time that I prepare beets, I begin by shredding them in a food processor. After that, you can serve them raw with a simple dressing, or you can stir-fry them in a skillet to brown them slightly, which brings out their sweetness like nothing else. This recipe employs the latter technique (with the addition of sage) then calls for tossing the beets with pasta. A finishing of grated Parmesan is a salty counterpoint to the caramelized sweetness of the beets.

3 beets, cut into quarters
1 small sweet onion, cut into quarters
1 head garlic, cloves peeled
2 tablespoons olive oil

Tips:

  • Choose the right beets: Look for beets that are small to medium in size, with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid beets that are too large, as they may be woody.
  • Roast the beets before using: Roasting the beets brings out their natural sweetness and earthy flavor. To roast the beets, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the beets with a little olive oil and salt, then wrap them in aluminum foil. Roast the beets for 45 minutes to an hour, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Use a variety of greens: This recipe calls for arugula, but you can use any type of greens you like, such as spinach, kale, or mustard greens.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a good quality blue cheese: The type of blue cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish. Look for a blue cheese that is creamy and flavorful, but not too sharp.

Conclusion:

This pasta dish is a delicious and easy way to enjoy the flavors of beets and blue cheese. The roasted beets are sweet and earthy, the greens are fresh and peppery, and the blue cheese adds a creamy and tangy flavor. This dish is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great way to use up leftover beets.
