Ingredients

  • 3 beets, cut into quarters

  • 1 small sweet onion, cut into quarters

  • 1 head garlic, cloves peeled

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ½ cup vegetable broth

  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

  • 1 (16 ounce) package dry fettuccine pasta

  • 1 tablespoon shredded Parmesan cheese, or to taste

  • 1 pinch chopped fresh thyme, or to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. Combine beets, onion, and garlic cloves in a bowl. Add olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper; toss to coat. Transfer to a baking sheet.

  3. Roast in the preheated oven until cooked through and tender, about 1 hour.

  4. Remove from the oven and let cool until beets can be handled, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove beet skins.

  5. Transfer mixture to a food processor. Add vegetable broth and lemon juice; pulse until smooth. Transfer to a saucepan.

  6. Stir heavy cream into the beet mixture in the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until it begins to simmer, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese until melted. Set aside.

  7. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Pour beet sauce over pasta and toss until well combined. Top with 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese and a pinch of additional thyme.
