Carrot Spaghetti

Prep 10 min
Total 15 min
Ingredients 9
Servings 1

I love cooking pasta with carrot instead of just regular pasta. Even though they look like they’re light, they’re enough for lunch or for a light but satisfying dinner. When preparing spaghetti with carrots, I use a mandoline slicer, and I love it because I can choose how thick I want my pasta. But, if you don’t have one, you can use a potato peeler and get thin slices of carrot that will look like fettuccini. Cook the sauce with vegetables, meat, or shrimp, then, add the carrot you cooked. It will be really easy to roll the pasta onto your fork, and you’ll enjoy its incredible flavor.

Ingredients

2 medium carrots
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped onion
1 cup green beans, cooked and sliced
1 cup chopped tomato
Salt and pepper
1/3 cup heavy cream, optional
Chopped parsley
Grated cheese

Directions

1

Cut the carrot into thin slices using a mandoline (or potato peeler).
2

Cook the carrot for two minutes in boiling water with salt. Strain.
3

In the meantime, heat the oil in a pan. Fry the onion and then add the chopped green beans and the tomato, mixing carefully. Season with salt and pepper.
4

If you want, you can add the cream at this point and turn the heat off.
5

Mix this with the carrot spaghetti and serve immediately after sprinkling some chopped parsley and grated cheese.

Expert Tips

Add 4 ounces of fried Italian chorizo in the pan and mix with the vegetables.
