Ingredients

Pasta

Panko-Fried Goat Cheese

Instructions

  • Cut beets in quarters and wrap each whole beet in foil. Roast in oven for 40 minutes at 400 degrees F until fork tender. Use a paring knife to peel skin off and allow to cool to room temperature. Slice in ½ in slices.
  • Prepare goat cheese: Use dental floss or string to slice into goat cheese ¼ in chick.
  • Add cayenne to panko toss to incorporate and add to bowl. Whisk eggs in separate bowl.
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet and drizzle with olive oil. Dip goat cheese slices in egg and then coat in panko bread crumbs. Fry on 1 side until golden brown and flip to other side. When done, reserve to paper towel-lined plate.
  • Heat another large skillet (or use the same if done with goat cheese). Saute chopped garlic in olive oil and add red pepper flakes. Cook about 3 minutes until it begins to caramelize.
  • Add beet greens and lemon zest and salt and pepper. Cook until beet greens are tender.
  • Boil fresh pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water for 3 minutes until tender. When done, add pasta directly to beet greens and toss to coat. Add roasted beets and season with salt and pepper.
  • Top with fried goat cheese and an extra drizzle of olive oil.
