Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and chop the beets into small cubes. Toss the beets with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until tender. In a large pot, cook the penne pasta according to package instructions. In a separate pan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil and sauté the garlic and onion until fragrant. Add the roasted beets and vegetable broth to the pan. Simmer for 5 minutes. Use a blender or immersion blender to puree the beet mixture until smooth. Drain the cooked pasta and return it to the pot. Pour the roasted beet sauce over the pasta and toss to coat. Serve the penne pasta in a roasted beet sauce with fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese on top.
