 Ingredients:

• 1/2 pound uncooked fussili/rotini/penne/Shell pasta or 4 cups cooked pasta.
• 1 beetroot (boiled).
• 1 red chili(add 2 for more spice).
• 1 garlic clove.

• 1 tbsp olive oil.
• salt as per taste.
• 1 tsp oregano(optional).

Preparation for Beetroot pasta:

• Cube the beetroot and steam them for 10 min or until tender.

• Cool the beetroot and puree them along with red chili and  a tsp olive oil .
• Chop garlic very fine.
• Cook pasta according to packet instructions.

How i cook pasta:

• I usually cook pasta with 2 the amount of water and salt required(we can adjust the salt later but just taste the water,it has to be salty).
• Add pasta to the boiling water and cook them until aldente(perfect).
• Drain the excess water add fresh water and wash it .This will keep the pasta not to get cooked there after.
• Keep this pasta aside.

Cooking of Beetroot Pasta:

• Add remaining olive oil to a tava ,add chopped garlic to it.Saute for a few seconds.

• Now add pureed beetroot  to the tava.

• Add required salt as well.Let this get cooked until the raw smell goes off,at least for 5 min.

• Now add the cooked pasta and toss well,add pepper powder to the pasta .
• Add oregano or any seasoning at this point.
• Beetroot pasta is ready.Serve it with grated cheese if available.

Note:

• Add more red chili for a spicier version.
• You can also add grated cheese when serving it kids.Cheese reduces the spice so add it when you make a spicier version.
• You can also make pasta with your left over chutney(mint-coriander chutney/chat chutney).
• Add any Italian seasoning or oregano-chili flakes if you wish.
• You can use any style of pasta like fusili,rotini,shell,bow-tie,penne etc.
