Points to Note

  • You can use any type of pasta like fusilli , penne , macroni etc . But which ever you use .. please make sure it’s cooked al dente . Else we will end up with mushy over cooked pasta and will not taste good . I have used here Penne .
  • Retain a portion of cooked pasta water to make sauce .
  • Carrot should be cooked soft for a creamy sauce texture.
  • There is a slight sweetness to the sauce from the carrots, so I like to add a tbsp of red pasta suce at the end to give it a little kick. But its optional, so if you don’t like spicy things or want to serve this to little ones, you can skip .
  • You can use any veggies of your choice like brocolli , corn , peas etc .
  • Addition of veggies , cheese and herbs is as per your taste
  • While making the carrot sauce, instead of olive oil you can add butter.
