carrot pasta breakfast recipe 😋
To make this creamy pasta sauce the trick is to steam your carrots to get them nice and soft before you try to blend them in a food processor or blender. It also helps to cut the carrots into relatively small pieces to make them steam faster. You’ll know the carrots are ready to blend when you can easily mash them with a fork. Add a few cloves of garlic to the steamer basket for extra flavor and to balance out the sweetness of the carrots. For an extra kick add a hot chili pepper or two such as serrano cayenne or Calabrian peppers.
You will need a liquid such as pasta water or olive oil to blend the carrots into a smooth creamy sauce and not a thick puree. You can also add some blended cashews to the sauce for an extra nutty savory flavor and ultimate creaminess. Soak the cashews in a bowl of hot water to soften them and blend them with the steamed carrots. Follow a few more handy tips and you will be enjoying perfect carrot sauce pasta in no time.
In case you didn’t know saving your pasta water is a crucial tip you’ll need when making homemade pasta sauce. Leftover water from cooking pasta is loaded with starch which acts as a binding agent and helps create the ideal consistency for your pasta sauce. Adding the cloudy water to your carrot mixture is the perfect way to thin out your sauce without making it watery. When combined with a fat like olive oil pasta water also forms an emulsion that helps the sauce stick to the noodles better.
