Hello Foodie friends,
We are getting closer to welcome Spring this year, so I am thinking of vibrant and colorful dishes to bring the sunshine in. This recipe is a creamy and tangy beet pasta dish. The pink velvety sauce is made from a mix of yogurt, cooked beets, some garlic, and lemon zest to add tanginess and brighten the sauce. This sauce ix mixed in with gluten free pasta for a perfect main or side dish. Then I topped it off sauce with crumbled feta cheese, toasted almonds and fresh parsley. Just delish.
What I like about this tasty sauce, is how versatile it is. I reserved a little bit and add more lemon juice and olive oil to make a salad dressing. Perfect over some greens and veggies. Although this dish is vegetarian, it can easy become vegan, if you substitute the greek yogurt and feta cheese for a vegan yogurt and feta cheese.
So, let's start cooking foodie friends!
