BEET SPAGHETTI RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. In medium bowl, toss beets with 2 tablespoons oil and 1⁄4 teaspoon salt; arrange in single layer on 2 large rimmed baking sheets. Roast 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and crisp, switching racks halfway through. Let cool.In large bowl, toss cooled beets with cucumber, radishes, arugula, vinegar, remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1⁄2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Divide among serving plates; top with mozzarella.

Steps:

• If using leftover cooked pasta, chop it up. If using dried pasta, bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it. Cook pasta until barely tender, somewhat short of where you would normally cook it. Drain, and immediately toss it in a wide bowl with half the butter or oil. Cool it a bit.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put remaining butter or oil in a large nonstick ovenproof skillet, and turn heat to medium-high. If you are using meat, add it, and cook, stirring occasionally until crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. (If not using meat, proceed.)
• In large bowl, combine pasta with remaining ingredients, along with salt and pepper (less salt if you are using meat). Pour into skillet, and turn heat to medium-low. Use a spoon if necessary to even out top of frittata. Cook undisturbed until mixture firms up on bottom, then transfer to oven. Bake just until top is set, about 10 minutes. Remove, and serve hot or at room temperature.
