February’s Recipe
This Beetroot & Goat Cheese Pasta with Lemony Rocket blends roasted beets into a vibrant and flavourful pasta sauce. It’s a showstopper of a vegetarian meal!
YOU’LL LEARN THROUGH MAKING THIS RECIPE
- A creative way to celebrate vegetables. The texture of certain cooked veggies can make a great pasta sauce base. Using beets in this way introduces unique flavours and fun natural colours to your pasta sauce, as well as a nutritional boost with essential vitamins, minerals, fibre and antioxidants.
- Roasting to deepen flavour. Roasting beetroot and garlic concentrates their natural sugars through caramelisation (a process where sugars are heated). This results in a rich, earthy sweetness and a tender texture that adds depth and complexity. Simple, but a game changer technique in a dish like this!

The Prize
February prize is one for the coffee connoisseurs. Up for grabs is the exquisite Bialetti x Dolce & Gabbana Moka Express 6-cup and Perfetto Moka Irresistible Coffee & Tin (RRP: $265)☕. Here’s why I love it:
- Totally iconic. Since its debut in 1930, the Bialetti Moka Pot has become a symbol of Italian coffee culture. Known for its durability, reliability, and renowned timeless aesthetic, it’s a cult classic.
- Elevate your cuppa. The iconic brewer doesn’t just craft darn good coffee (think rich, robust and flavourful🙏); it transforms the brewing experience into a dreamy, hands-on and ritualistic affair.
- She’s a beauty. Drawing inspiration from the elaborate folklore patterns of the Carretto Siciliano (aka Sicilian cart), the Bialetti x Dolce & Gabana collab pays tribute to Sicily’s artistic crafts, landscapes, and vibrant colours—something at the heart of Dolce & Gabbana’s aesthetic.
Best of Luck!
I’m looking forward to seeing your entries. I hope you enjoy making this recipe, and most importantly – happy eating.
