On The Healthy Side Of Yummy - Red Beets Pasta

I know, I know - it sounds weird. But I promise this meal is delicious and packed with nutrition!

So yummy!

What you need:
7 ts   Low Fat Crème Fraîche (You could probably substitute with sour cream)
1 lb  Pasta
1      Scallion
1 lb  Red beets
1 ts  Olive Oil
3 1/2 oz Vegetable Broth
1 splash of Apple Vinegar

To your liking:
Salt & Pepper 
Parmesan
Pine Nuts


How to:
Peel the beets and shred them. Cut the scallion into little dices and glaze them in the oil, add beets and sauté. Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Season with vinegar, salt and pepper. Covere over low heat for about 25 minutes until al dente. Meanwhile cook the pasta in salted water. Mix the veggies with your crème fraîche and roast those pine nuts (careful here - they burn really fast - no additional oil needed!). Top pasta with beets mix, pine nuts, and parmesan. Voilá :)

This should feed about 4 people. Hope your tastebuds enjoy!
