1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. While the oven is preheating, toss the scrubbed beets in olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
3. When the oven is preheated, wrap the beets tightly in two layers of aluminum foil and set them on a baking sheet. Roast the beets in the oven for 50 minutes to one hour or until fork-tender.
4. Once the beets are done, carefully remove them from the foil and set them aside to cool.
5. When the beets are cool enough to touch, rub the skins off with a paper towel and slice them into quarters.
6. In a blender, combine the chopped beets, remaining salt, one cup of mascarpone, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, grated Parmesan, and pepper. Blend until smooth and well combined.
7. Cook your pasta of choice according to the instructions on the package.
8. Drain the pasta. Make sure to reserve a cup of pasta water for later.
9. In the empty pasta pot, add the noodles, beet sauce, and a splash of pasta water. Stir until well combined.
10. Plate the pasta with a dollop of mascarpone, a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, and fresh basil leaves. Serve hot and enjoy!
