Barbie Pasta with Roasted Beetroot

Preheat the oven to 185 °C and prepare a small baking dish. Peel the raw beetroot and cut it into smaller pieces. Transfer them to aluminum foil, add a tablespoon of oil, mix, and wrap tightly. Cut off the top of the garlic head so that all the cloves are visible, drizzle with a tablespoon of oil, and also wrap it in aluminum foil.

Transfer both packets to the baking dish and place them in the preheated oven for approximately 50 minutes to an hour, or until the beetroot is completely soft. Let the roasted beetroot and garlic cool slightly and bring salted water to a boil for the pasta.

Once the water boils, add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions. Transfer the roasted softened beetroot to a blender along with the feta, parsley, a ladleful of pasta water, and the squeezed garlic cloves. Season with salt and pepper and blend until a smooth pink sauce forms; if the mixture is too thick, add a little more pasta water.
