Pink Beet Pasta

When I moved to Amsterdam I was so lucky to live with my aunt and uncle who are both amazing cooks. My aunt came up with the pink pasta by adding beets into the boiling water while the pasta cooks. It creates such a lovely colour and a great flavour too!

over the years I have played around with her original recipe and ended up with this beautiful blend of lemon, goat cheese, and truffle.

Not only is this pasta pretty, but it is perfect to serve your loved ones this Valentines Day!
