Step 1

Heat the oil in a frypan over low heat. Add the onion and garlic, then cook, stirring, for 10 minutes or until golden but not browned. Add the beetroot and cook for 3 minutes or until warmed through. Remove from heat and season.

Step 2

Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water for 10-12 minutes until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/3 cup (80ml) cooking liquid. Add the reserved cooking liquid to the beetroot mixture and stir to combine, then stir in goat’s cheese, pecans and parsley.

Step 3

Divide pasta among bowls, then top with the beetroot mixture. Drizzle with extra oil, sprinkle with pecorino, then serve.
