To begin making the Fusilli Pasta Recipe In Roasted Beetroot, first get all the ingredients prepped and ready for cooking.

2

In a large pot, add water and bring it to a boil. Once the water has boiled, add a teaspoon of salt.

3

Add the fusilli pasta to the boiling water and let it cook in the boiling water until it is al dente(just cooked). This process should take a good 12-15 minutes.

Once the fusilli pasta has cooked, drain the water and run the cooked pasta under running water to stop the cooking process. Drizzle some oil on top of pasta and make sure to coat all of the pasta with the oil.

The next step is to roast the beets along with the onions, garlic and tomatoes. Preheat the oven to 180 C and grease a baking sheet with olive oil.

2

Toss the beetroot, garlic, tomatoes and onions in a tablespoon of olive oil and salt and place it in the preheated oven. 

3

Roast the beets in the oven for about 20 minutes and after that 15 minutes of roasting in the oven which is preheated to 180 degree celsius, check for doneness. The beet should have softened and feel cooked. 

4

Once done, remove from the oven and allow it to cool.

5

Once the beet has cooled, add the roasted beetroot to the mixer grinder, add the cream, a teaspoon of olive oil, and about 1/2 cup of warm water and blend to make a smooth puree.

If you are using any other vegetables in the sauce, you can alternatively roast the vegetables in a pan on a low heat until the vegetables are cooked. Allow the vegetables to cool and blend the vegetables along with cream, olive oil and 1/2 cup warm water.

The roasted beetroot sauce for the pasta is now ready.
