Beet this, beet me, all beet to hell - the list goes on and on and on but what does have an end is my ideas for beets. I hit a wall right out of the gate. I love beets, I love them roasted and boiled in borscht and in salads - I enjoy beets. So in honor of the non beet lover I hereby introduce you to beets. Pasta. It tastes just like pasta but its made out of beets. Funny thing about pasta - it typically tastes like pasta.
This is beet pasta made with a sous vide pumpkin ball and alfredo sauce. I copied the sous vide from 5star foodie. Pumpkin and calabaza squash is so good no matter how you cook it.
Rip the plate apart and all you have left is fettuccini alfredo, plain and simple - but with pumpkin balls and beet pasta.
Arrange it delicately and this is what you might get. I should have done a beet foam with a pasta foam and a pumpkin foam all wadded up into a cookie.

Wow, this is innovative!
kenny: yeah right...
I love the color it. It's almost like a natural food coloring. Awesome job on the sous vide, too. I'd be intimidated to attempted such a thing. ;-D
hmmm...interesting...

You think of some good things. Good luck with this one!
Great fun- we really like beets around here. Never have seen it in pasta form before. And I love the deconstruction.
A beautiful presentation! Love the beet pasta and so glad you did the sous vide pumpkin, thanks for the linkback! Pondering your triple foam in a cookie idea :)
what pretty beet pasta! I like the colors.
Good photos- nice color contrast..
that really IS innovative. and i'm one that HATES beets unless they're from a can...then i can tolerate them. theyr'e too frickin gardeny. debby, however, says they'er amazing raosted so i'm going to give them one more chance. like i did eggplant and now i love eggplant.
Very "Interesting"... :-) Great fun.
I love the color too Dog, and I LOVE beets...cooked any which way, so I'm sure I'd like this. and look at your fancy little presentation...all top chef and shit!
;)
Very nice! Very nice! Christo's gone sous vide. :-) Hmm ... the competition is getting fierce. I'll tweet this post.
My dearly beloved won't touch beets for love nor money. He says they look like purple road apples, and memories of his mother plunking them on plates next to mashed potatoes, and staining his potatoes, don't help. Interesting concept!
Wow simply stunning! Amazing. Even I'd eats beets if this was placed in front of me.
that is some pretty pasta! i love beets too!
a great effort... but it's still beets
Is that beet pasta? I'm not a very experience cook? but looks great!
How fancy schmancy is this!! Looks so good!
this is very interesting!! love the color :)
I'm not hot or cold toward beets really, I just haven't had a great reason to eat them but this pasta looks outstanding. If you were going for a bacon-and-egg look, I think you achieved it!
Strong colored pasta indeed! I'd love a plate of that, with the drama and all!
wow...this is crazy, but in a 'good' way. I love the colors.
Thats just PRETTY !!!!!
there's that food stylist again!
I love beets, roasted, pickled any which way.
Great recipes, great presentation, great post -- can't beet that with a stick.
Oh wow beet pasta! Sounds innovative and delicious:) I love the color of the pasta too...it's so bright red and fresh :)
Wow, you beets are gorgeous. My husband would love this.

Fall on a plate! So very unique. I love it - especially that gorgeous beet pasta!
Pretty, but I dunno! Unusual combo the Alfredo and beet.
Maybe though?!

That pasta is spectacularly beautiful.

Beet pasta! I never! Looks intriguing. And looks like the perfect Halloween dish, actually.

Love, LOVE that deconstructed plate, doggy! Wow, you're blowing my mind today.
Also, I'm in the beet lovers camp, so save me some of that pasta. :)
Only you could think of a way to coerce me into trying beets.
They look like they have little hats!
Holy shite, that's gorgeous!! I am so in love with beets! The pasta is out of this world, I have to give that a try. Only I don't have a machine and I do believe I'm far too lazy to do it by hand. Love the sous vide pumpkin balls, too :D
I'm so in love with the colors! So beautiful!
Holy cow! This looks fabulous! What a great way to pay homage to the beet by making pasta-Everyone loves pasta. I love beets and I love pasta!
Damn creative.
oh man look what I've missed! love this Dog.
