Beetroot pasta

I've been meaning to try something other than plain fresh pasta for ages. So here goes attempt number one.

Beetroot pasta.
2 eggs
1 beetroot boiled for 20min and pureed
100g plain flour
100g wholewheat flour

Mix ingredients together, knead in stand mixer for 10 mins. Rest in fridge for 10 mins. Pass through pasta maker to make tagliatelle. Cook for 2-3 mins.

I'm serving it with roast veg and pizza sauce, but anything works.

Ended up looking a bit like strips of ham when cooked. I'll try and make it darker next time. Tasted good.

First it overflowed, surgically welding itself to the intereior of our oven, then it burnt on top whilst remaining raw on the inside, then it rufused to be extracted from the loaf tin. I wouldn't be surprised about any of this with my track-record in baking, but I made exactly the same thing using exactly the same recipe last week and it was 100% successful. It still tasted great though - once I managed to extract it from its tin. I'm not, however, looking forward to dealing with the oven! That can wait until the weekend. Hard times I've had a number of emails from friends recently telling me of the death of close friends and accidents that people have had; it has made me realise just how fortunate and blessed we are...
