Can you believe my husband’s favourite pasta ever is made with only 3 ingredients? The funny thing is that that MAIN ingredient is CARROTS and HE DOESN’T even LIKE CARROTS!!!!! In my household we like to try different recipes and despite our different tastebuds we end up discovering new flavours and loving new recipes.
I learnt from an early age that you don’t need to elaborate a dish to make it exceptional, you only need to use a few ingredients and everybody will love it….. Darren loves it too 🙂
Both my Mamma and Nonna can rely to this motto since they are the two people who taught me all I know about cooking. “IMPARA A CUCINARE USANDO POCHI, ANZI POCHISSIMI INGREDIENTIS!!!!” ( Learn to cook using the fewest ingredients) …. I can almost hear them saying it to me whilst kneading the dough for some fresh ravioli.
Carrots, onions, cream, a little bit of salt and a drizzle of olive oil…. you might be thinking “how could it be possible for a pasta dish to be so delicious and quick?”.
You will have to try !!! and please send all your feedback 🙂

Serving 4 people
Ingredients
3 large carrots, peeled
1 small white onion
150ml single or double cream
olive oil, 3 tablespoons
salt, 1 teaspoon
Penne Pasta, 350g ( or any short type)
Preparation
Bring 1 and a half litre of water to the boil. Add the pasta into the boiling water and cook following the cooking times on the packet.
Whilst you are waiting for the water to boil, get all the ingredients ready: place a non-stick pan on a medium heat with the olive oil, the carrots and the onions finally chopped (you can use a vegetable chopper ). Cook for 15 minutes with the lid on or until the onions and the carrots soften. Add a little water if the mix gets too dry. Stir and add a pinch of salt. Pour the cream and reduce the heat. Cook for 2/3 minutes.
Your past should be ready by now. Drain it and place it on a large dish.
Pour the sauce on your pasta, add a little Parmesan and enjoy….Pronto!
