Step 1

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Reserve about a cup of pasta water before draining the pasta.

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, warm a tablespoon of the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for a few minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for another couple of minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 3

In a blender, combine the onion and garlic, beets, ricotta and goat cheese, lemon juice, salt, pepper, the other tablespoon of olive oil, and ¼ cup of pasta water. Blend until smooth and creamy. If needed, add a few more dashes of pasta water to thin the sauce to your desired consistency.

Step 4

Toss the cooked pasta in the beet sauce. Serve, and enjoy!
