    Recipe Introduction


    Sour cream and beets are inseparable in Eastern European cooking. Here's a fresh new way to enjoy them together

    List of Ingredients




    1 tablespoon butter
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    3 cups (packed) coarsely grated peeled uncooked beets (about 3 large)
    1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

    12 ounces tagliatelle or fettuccine
    1 8-ounce container sour cream
    6 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley, divided

    Recipe



    Melt butter with oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; stir until pale golden, about 1 minute. Add beets and cayenne; reduce heat to medium-low and sauté just until beets are tender, about 12 minutes. Stir in lemon juice.

    Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally.

    Drain pasta and return to pot. Stir in sour cream and 4 tablespoons parsley, then beet mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer pasta to bowl. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons parsley and serve.

    Test-kitchen tip: Surgical gloves (sold at drugstores) are ideal for protecting hands from staining when working with beets. Regular kitchen gloves work well, too, but they are a little more cumbersome.

    Makes 6 first-course or 4 main-course servings
