Roasted Carrot and Linguini
This recipe was inspired by the oh so talented Reeni of Cinnamon Spice and Everything Nice, and I even saw that Jenn of Bread and Butter was inspired to try it as well. The idea of roasting carrots and then pureeing to make a pasta sauce was intriguing to me. So here is my version, can't wait to see who does it next!
I also sent this recipe over to Little Stomaks an awesome blog dedicated to sound childhood nutrition with a column by Dietitians and Doctors. As I thought it was a fun way to get little ones to eat vegetables.
Ingredients
- 3 Organic carrots
- 3 cloves of garlic
- olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 pack of linguine
- a little Parmesan cheese
- Italian herbs
- chopped ham
Method
- roast the sliced carrot on a tray at 350 degrees with the garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper for 20 minutes or until soft
- then pureed
- cook the pasta until al dente
- heat a little olive oil with Italian herbs and toss the carrot puree with it and serve.

I saw that recipe and I actually love a ton of carrots in my sauce. Delicious and must give it a go.

What a great healthy way to enjoy pasta without a lot of calories. I would have never thought of roasting carrots but it makes perfect sense. The carrots natural sugars really come alive when roasted.
ReplyDeleteThis carrot sauce is EVERYWHERE lately. I think it's a sign that I need to make it...
ReplyDeletePavithra: oh thanks
ReplyDeleteVelva; oh love the way you wrote this lol
Joanne : its a sign!
I never heard of anything like this before but really love it, makes such a change from a tomato sauce.
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing this over on Reeni's site. I love carrots and agree that this sounds fantastic.
ReplyDeleteCarrots have been popping up in more recipes in unique ways. They should be used often!
