How to Prepare Barbie Pasta
🧄 Cut the top off a head of garlic and place it in a ramekin. 🫒 Drizzle olive oil over the garlic and cover the ramekin with a lid or foil. 🔥 Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 35-40 minutes until garlic is soft and caramelized. 🧊 Let the garlic cool, then squeeze it out of the skin. 💦 Boil water in a pot, salt generously, and cook pasta until al dente, reserving some pasta water. 🧀 Make the sauce by blending ricotta, cooked beets, Parmigiano cheese, salt, roasted garlic, and pasta water. 💖 Adjust the thickness of the sauce with more pasta water if needed. 🍝 Pour the sauce over cooked pasta and serve the Barbie Pasta with hot pepper oil or extra Parmigiano cheese. Enjoy!
