Carrot Spaghetti
3 medium carrots
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/4 onion, diced, optional
2 small cloves garlic, finely diced
1/4 cup pasta sauce
1. Wash the carrots well, especially if they are not organic. With a vegetable peeler, peel the carrots into long thing strips and sprinkle with salt.
2. Coat the bottom of a large pan with the olive oil and heat on medium-high heat. When hot, add the carrots. Toss frequently (this works well with tongs). When the carrots start to soften, add the garlic and pepper (add onion here too if you like).
3. Keep tossing for a couple of minutes until some of the carrots get brown around the edges (don't burn!) and the garlic is golden. Serve with your favorite pasta sauce (tomato based, I really can't vouch for alfredo or other fancy sauces).
The nice thing is that it can be twirled with a fork the same way as regular pasta! Great if you're a carrot lover as I am.
SO HOW'D IT GO?
I did not expect to love this..., but I do!!!! I just went back for seconds. Thank you for this recipe!!!
I was very disappointed with this recipe. It was just not good. But its very healthy so I guess that makes it better. Would try it again!!
I love this!! Thank you so much for the recipe... I added fresh spinach when I sauteed the carrots. A potato peeler worked perfectly to get the thin, long strands of carrot "spaghetti." I didn't use pasta sauce, but I made a garlic and olive oil sauce with oregano, basil, garlic powder, onion powder and salt and pepper; it was really great!! I can't believe how much it tasted like spaghetti and nothing like carrots...not that I don't like carrots, because I love them, but still, the taste was very surprising.
Love it! Love it! Love it! I used shallots instead of onions and it came out perfect :) I also tried this using zucchini and carrots; changed the flavor up a bit but it was still delicious!
Just finished making this, it came out great! I added sum diced shallots and less onions so it made it a little bit sweeter. Next time I'll add throw in some mushrooms too. Thanks for the recipe, definitely a keeper!
PS: Can't wait to try making zucchini pasta!
THIS WAS AMAZING!
I am NEVER going back to regular pasta!!! i did not sautee the carrots, i put them in boiling water, sauteed Classico tomato sauce with garlic and mixed it on my plate
Had never thought i could make a pasta out of carrots! This tasted AWESOME!! ;)b Very easy to make - i used a potato peeler. Thank you for an excellent recipe!
Mmmmm wow!! Mine always have that slight firmness and crunch, I don't know if it's meant to be like that or not but I love it.
I won't lie when i saw this recipe i was skeptical, but then i had an idea to try it with sweet and sour sauce. It was delicious, so thanks for the recipe :)
This was delicious! I cut the carrot into thin sticks since I didn't have a patience to peel them all. Still I loved it, much like spaghetti.
