Step by step cooking pasta with boiled beets, recipe with photo:
1. Pour water into a saucepan, add 1 tbsp. vegetable oil, a pinch of salt and boil. The addition of vegetable oil will prevent pasta from sticking together during cooking.
2. Boil water and dip the pasta into it. Cook them for as long as indicated on the manufacturer's packaging.
3. Tilt the boiled pasta into a colander and leave for 1 minute to drain excess water.
4. Pre-boil the beets in the peel. Cooking time can be from 40 minutes to 2 hours. It depends on the size of the root crop and the age. Small and young vegetables will cook in 40 minutes, mature and large ones - 2 hours. Cool the boiled vegetable, peel and grate on a coarse grater. Since the boiling time of beets takes a long time, I recommend harvesting them in advance, for example, in the evening.
5. Peel the garlic, wash and chop finely. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat. Add the garlic and fry for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Then remove it from the pan. It is necessary that he only aromatize the oil.
6. Send the grated beets to a heated pan, stir and fry for 3-5 minutes.
7. Add boiled pasta to the pan, stir and heat for 2-3 minutes.
8. Grate cheese and sprinkle with pasta and boiled beets. Serve the food to the table directly in the pan. It will keep food warm for a long time.
