Description

Pasta with creamy carrot sauce recipeSweet, tasty and excellent for our health. Carrots are a very valuable ingredient to keep in the fridge.

They help us not to "commit sins of gluttony" during hunger attacks or periods full of nervousness caused by the stressful life we lead, they enrich in a special way the most particular salads (from classic to that of oranges or fennel) and they "prepare" our skin for summer so as to be more beautiful and tanned.

There are those who prefer them raw and those who cook them, better if steamed in order to maintain all the properties. Once cool, steamed carrot can be eaten with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt, or it can be reduced to cream and used for fantastic ideas. For example, it can become a different base for a pizza, instead of the classic tomato sauce, or it can be used as a simple but very good sauce for pasta. In short, a thousand ideas and a single, simple and inexpensive super ingredient!
