Baked Penne Pasta with Beetroot Sauce recipe with step by step instructions. Learn how to make baked whole wheat penne pasta with beetroot sauce. I always love noodles and pasta and try different things with them. I made this for Facebook contest along with crackers, croissants and beetroot Swirl buns. Inspired by white sauce pasta I made this beetroot sauce pasta and it tasted so yummy. Everyone in home liked and enjoyed it. 

We can indirectly make kids eat beetroot and it will be difficult for them to find out. I baked these in oven arranging them in layers. You can cook the same in pan by adding cooked pasta to Vegetables and then add beetroot sauce. Finally garnish with cheese or you can skip that.
