Just last year I fell in love with beets. Before that, I just could not stomach them. Then, I had them roasted with goat cheese. From there, I was hooked and went on to discover how amazing they are with blue cheese! Right now, I am totally in love with trying different types of vegetable noodles and recently branched out to beet noodles with blue cheese sauce.

I first discovered beet noodles at our local grocery store. It carries tons of different veggie noodles and I just had to give the beet ones a try. Now, I use my spiralizer to create them at home since I know I love them. The blue cheese sauce is so easy to make and is perfect for these beet noodles. If you have a pasta lover at home, you can easily toss regular pasta in the sauce too.

Ingredients for Beet Noodles with Blue Cheese Sauce:

2 beets, spiralized
2 Tbsp butter
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Fresh basil for garnish

Let’s Make It:

1. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add butter, garlic and walnuts and cook for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant. 

2. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in blue cheese and Parmesan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add beet noodles and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the noodles have softened. Top with fresh basil and additional chopped walnuts. 

The sauce for this is so rich and creamy! I don’t worry too much about all the cheese and heavy cream since I am eating it on vegetable noodles. That has to count for something right?!

What are your favorite ways to eat beets? My family doesn’t love them as much as I do so I sneak them into sloppy joes to get them to eat them more often.
