Roasted Carrot Pasta and Bon Voyage!
I made this pasta dish a while back it was inspired by Reenis blog Cinnamon and Spice and everything nice. I roasted the carrot and garlic in the morning blended it and kept in the fridge. Then later boiled pasta and peas and mixed like a pesto it was wonderful to give to Jasmine as we were going out to watch Jerry Seinfeld!He spoke a lot about food one quote was about restaurant specials "if its so special why isn't it on the menu!"
Ingredients:
- 3 large carrots
- 4 cloves of garlic
- olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- cup of pasta
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
Method:
- roast the carrots and garlic with salt and pepper at 400 for 20 minutes until soft, then blend with a hand blender adding a little water to make a paste
- boil pasta with peas, Jasmine likes peeeas! and mix in paste
Healthy mid week meal loaded with fiber, vitamin C and Beta Carotene.

You guys have fun!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I'm sure you'll love Turkish food. Our quick meal thing: if we grill steak and have left over, or if we can get a fresh cut of meat, we chop it into 1 inch pieces, we pan fry potatoes, then saute potatoes with meat and as many veggies as we can: onions, garlic, zucchini, squash, peppers, broccoli, mushrooms, etc... and of course spices :)
