Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound red beets, cleaned
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup water
1 pound good-quality farro or whole wheat spaghetti
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 heaping tablespoon poppy seeds
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup pasta water
1/4 pound goat's milk cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the beets in a glass or ceramic baking dish. Cover with the olive oil and water. Bake until a tester easily passes through the beets, about 1 1/4 hours. Let cool.
  • 2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • 3. Peel the beets and cut into chunks. Add to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade and process to a rough puree. Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions.
  • 4. Add the butter to a 10-inch skillet. Turn on the heat to high. Brown the butter, about 2 minutes. Add the poppy seeds and toast for 2 minutes. Add the pureed beets, salt, and the 1/4 cup pasta water to the skillet. Stir to fully incorporate.
  • 5. Use a wire-mesh skimmer or tongs to remove the spaghetti from the pot and place them directly into the skillet with the sauce. Stir to combine.
  • 6. Divide the spaghetti into equal portions and place on warm plates. Use two round or oval soup spoons to form little balls of the goat's milk cheese. Place a ball on top of each serving.
  • 7. Serve immediately.

The farro spaghetti was a nice change from regular pasta. It has a slightly chewy texture that I really liked.

I'm not usually a fan of beets, but I really enjoyed them in this dish. They were roasted to perfection.

I love how the sweetness of the beets pairs so well with the nutty flavor of the brown butter. And the poppy seeds add a nice crunch.
