Preparation
- Wash, peel, and chop the beetroots into small chunks. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, sauté garlic until fragrant.
- Add the chopped beetroot and salt, cover the skillet, and simmer for 13-15 minutes until tender.
- While the beets simmer, bring salted water to a boil, add pasta, and cook until al dente (8-10 minutes). Reserve ½ cup of pasta water.
- Drain pasta and set aside to keep warm.
- Transfer the beet and garlic mixture to a blender, add crumbled feta, lemon juice, and reserved pasta water, and blend until smooth.
- Combine drained pasta with the beetroot sauce in the skillet, toss over low heat until well coated.
- Garnish with crumbled feta and fresh herbs, serve immediately.

Notes
Consider using pre-cooked beets for time-saving, and store pasta and sauce separately if there are leftovers.
