Donal's Notes

The earthy purple orbs stain spaghetti a deep violet and along with the sausage and fennel it makes for an ideal winter pasta supper. For a richer pink colour to your finished pasta, mash a couple of pieces of the roasted beetroot with a fork before adding it into the pan.

Method

1

Do the veg prep by slicing the leek and cutting the onion and beetroot into wedges.

2

Remove the skins from the sausages by slicing the casing along the length of the sausages and peeling the casing away.

3

Heat the oven to 200˚C/180˚C fan/400°F/Gas Mark 6. Tumble the leeks, onion and beetroot onto a large roasting tray and toss with the fennel seeds and 2 tbsp of the olive oil. Season well with salt & pepper and roast for 20 minutes.

4

Remove from the oven and toss the veg, before adding the crumbled sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula if you need to, drizzle with the remaining oil and roast for a further 30 minutes.

5

Meanwhile, cook the pasta for 10-12 minutes until al dente, drain, reserving a little cooking water.

6

Chop the parsley.

7

Once the veg is fully roasted, toss with the pasta and cooking water until you have a lovely pink colour, toss in the parsley and serve with a crumbling of feta.
