Summary

Silky linguine tossed in a vividly pink, earthy-sweet beetroot pesto brightened with basil and curry, enriched with coconut milk, and crowned with golden mushrooms, pumpkin seeds, and fresh basil.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Add the beetroot pesto ingredients (beets, olive oil, basil, pumpkin seeds, garlic, curry powder, sea salt, ground pepper) to a food processor or blender and process until smooth; set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat a medium pan over medium heat, add 1 tbsp oil, and sear the sliced mushrooms for about 5 minutes until golden; season with salt and pepper and set aside.

  3. 3

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the linguine and 1 tsp salt, stir, and cook according to package directions until al dente.

  4. 4

    Drain well and return the pasta to the pot.

  5. 5

    Add the beet pesto and coconut milk; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper and cook over low heat for 1–2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Optional: Add seared tempeh on top for extra protein.
