Reshipes

PINK PASTA
.
I've been buying these vacuum sealed packs of cooked and peeled beetroot when I'm in the mood for pachadi or a beetroot thoran, but suddenly felt a craving for pasta instead. This is a mashup of a few different similar recipes, but boy, is this yummy! I wasn't planning on sharing it here (hence the boring photo), but it's too good not to share. Please do give it a try if you have a blender!
