A fusion between angio-olio pasta and meatball pasta is this Delmonte Beetball Pasta Recipe. Instead of meat, I used beetroots along with lentils to make the beatballs. And I simply tossed the pasta with olive oil, garlic, onions, oregano, parsley, and basil leaf. And added some grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Served with beetballs, this pasta was not just delicious but was also simple to make. Del Monte pasta is premium in quality and the variety of pasta you get is amazing. Highly recommended to try this recipe with Del Monte pasta.
