Valentine's Day is around the corner and this vibrant, now-viral pink pasta recipe is a perfect festive dish to try on Feb. 14.

Bright Pink Beet Pasta
Ingredients
12 ounces spaghetti
1 large beet, roasted and chopped
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
1. Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, drain and return the pasta to the pot, covered.
2. Meanwhile, place the beet, Greek yogurt, feta cheese, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a small blender and blend until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
3. Transfer the sauce on top of the cooked pasta and toss to combine. Add as much of the pasta water as needed for your desired consistency. Serve immediately.
