Beets for lunch, anyone? This is what I call a BeetGhetti!!! Haha, Get it? I surely crack myself up ?
I love beets. Love them in about ANYTHING. I’ve added beets to my smoothies, vegetables, rice, polentas. The list goes on. The earthy taste of beets is so refreshing and satisfying. They give me that instant drive I need when I feel low and tired. Plus, Beets are loaded with vitamin and nutrients. I’d eat it raw, cooked, steamed, or baked. I’d have it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. However, the best beet explosion in my mouth is when I mix it with pasta. This simple Vegan Beet Pasta is made just under 30 minutes. It is quick and easy, delicious and healthy. At this moment, I can feel my Italian friends and former Italians colleagues squirming in their seats. Sorry guys! It’s all love. This beet pasta for lunch is exactly what I need after a hardcore workout.
