TRUCK TO TABLE RECIPE:
- 1 pound Full Circle Farms beets
- green beet tops, reserved from beets
- 6 Tbs olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, finely diced
- 1 package Cappello's Gluten Free
Fettuchini
- Preheat
the oven to 350°. On a rimmed baking sheet, toast the walnuts
for 7 minutes, until lightly browned; let cool slightly.
Coarsely chop and transfer to a bowl.
- Raise
the oven temperature to 400°. Chop beets into wedges. On the
rimmed baking sheet, toss the beet wedges with 2 tablespoons of
the olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Roast
the beets for about 20 minutes, until they just begin to crisp
on the outside.
- In
a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the fettuchini
according to the package instructions. Meanwhile, heat the
remaining 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet. Add the
diced garlic and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly,
until golden, 2-3 minutes. Tear the reserved beet greens into
pieces and add, cooking until the greens are just wilted, 3-5
minutes.
- Drain
the fettuchini, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water. Add the
fettuchini, the roasted beets and reserved cooking water to the
skillet and cook over moderate heat, tossing to coat the pasta.
Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the fettuchini to a bowl,
garnish with the chopped toasted walnuts and crumbled bleu
cheese.

Letter from CEO &
Chief Fungi
Grapes,
bi-colored corn on the cob, napa cabbage, watermelon, peppers, galia
and honeydew melons, peaches, arugula and beets are all bumping off the
late-summer fields! SOURCE Local Foods is in the midst of its second
produce harvest, and has come a long way since our trucks first rolled
in April of 2012. The SOURCE team is working with producers and buyers
all over the state of Colorado - from the San Luis Valley to Aspen;
from Fort Collins to Salida!
My
team and I have been hard at work building sustainable food systems
with our industry partners. As we have scaled through 2013, we have
certainly experienced some of the growing pains any small business
entrepreneurs would be familiar with. One of the most important things
we've done to address our growing pains is adding several great members
to the SOURCE team - John, Kelly, Carly and Larry. Please check
out the Team Updates below to learn a little about each of these great
new SOURCErers! Working with our stakeholders through these growing
pains has been a source of real strength, and something for which I am
personally very grateful - Colorado is full of so many incredible food
entrepreneurs - chefs, bakers, farmers, sausage makers - and we delight
in the opportunity to work directly with so many of the talented people
that make Colorado a foodie capitol.
We
really appreciate the ongoing support and patronage from those chefs
and managers who understand the importance of sourcing local food.
Whether focused on quality, freshness, sustainability or all three,
these folks are driving the transition! The SOURCE team has partnered
with ranchers, butchers, dairymen, bakers, farmers, fermenters, and
natural food innovators to deliver you a full suite of year-round local
food offerings.
May
the SOURCE Be With You,
Aaron
CEO
& Chief Fungi
