Vibrant and full of nutrients! This beet pesto is a great alternative to the classic basil pesto. It's vegetarian, colorful and very tasty.

Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil and place the cleaned beets in for 30-40 minutes, or until soft. Fork should easily poke through the beets. While the beets are cooking, bring another pot of water to boil to cook the bow ties.
- Once cooked, drain beets and carefully peel the skin off. Chop the beets and place into a food processor. Add in all of the ingredients, except the cheese, and blend until smooth. Add more olive oil if needed.
- Once bow ties are cooked, mix the beet pesto in with the drained noodles. Add the cheese and serve immediately.
Notes
- You will have extra pesto. Save for up to 5 days.
- Use pre-cooked beets if you'd like (I prefer the "Love Beets" brand)
