Doesn’t this look beauteous!!!!

1 medium beet, peeled
1 medium golden beet, peeled
1 butternut squash, peeled

1. Spiralize beets and the neck of the butternut squash (reserve the bottom hollow section for another use).

2. Combine vegetables and a small amount of water in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute or until tender and drain beets and squash noodles on a paper towel. ( I would do this on the stove)

4. Gently toss spiralized vegetables in pesto and sprinkle with feta.
