Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and wrap the beet in aluminum foil with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Roast for 50–60 minutes.
  2. While the beet roasts, soak cashews in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse before using.
  3. Once the beet has roasted, cool slightly, peel, and chop. Blend with cashews, salt, and a splash of water until smooth.
  4. Boil salted water in a pot. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
  5. Melt vegan butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté chopped shallot and minced garlic for about 6 minutes until translucent.
  6. Pour the beet-cashew mixture into the skillet. Add reserved pasta water, sugar, and seasonings. Heat through until smooth.
  7. Toss the drained pasta in the skillet, adding more reserved pasta water as needed until desired consistency is reached.
  8. Serve warm, garnished with extra red pepper flakes, fresh basil, or nutritional yeast if desired.
