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.

In the spirit of reducing plastic this month I've made a couple of great discoveries. A local (NZ) meat and milk provider, that I've been using for a couple of years on account of them selling milk in glass bottles which they collect and reuse, has started selling their meat in compostable packaging. Their meat also just happens to be mighty tasty and they deliver to your doorstep. A great way to reduce 5 or 6 plastic meat trays and associated cling wrap each week. This company are also great to deal with online https://eketahunacountrymeats.co.nz/

Happy days. They all seem to love it. I'm feeling so blessed to have three gorgeous kids.
