Ingredients
- 250 g semolina flour
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 1 beet juice
- 2 large eggs

Instructions
- Attach the desired pasta shaping disc to the Philips pasta maker. I usually like using the normal spaghetti disk.
- Turn on the pasta maker and choose the program for fresh pasta.
- Gradually add the flour mixture into the pasta maker's chamber.
- Combine the beet juice and egg together until it is well blended together.
- Slowly pour in the beet and egg mixture into the pasta maker as it kneads the dough.
- Allow the machine to knead the dough for the programmed time.
- Once the kneading is complete, the machine will start extruding the pasta.
- Cut the pasta to your desired length as it comes out of the machine.
Cooking the Beet Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil
- Add the fresh beet pasta to the boiling water and cook for 2-4 minutes, or until al dente.
- Drain the pasta and serve immediately with your favourite sauce.
