Carrot Pasta
Carrot Pasta Recipe
By: Isabel Robson
Serves: 3
Preparation: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
150g Twirl pasta
1 Cup sliced carrots
1 Cup Quorn pieces
1/2 Cup Chopped onions
1/2 Cup Loose sweetcorn
1/2 Cup Heinz baked beans
1/2 Cup Homemade tomato sauce
2 tsp pine kernels
1 tsp butter
2 tsp olive oil
6 Chili seeds
Salt and pepper
I have some baked beans left over from breakfast, adding these to this dish has given extra richness to the pasta sauce.
Like bread and rice, pasta is high in starch but low in fat. Starch is not necessarily bad for you, it is stored energy that can boost your metabolism.
So often carrot is seen as a secondary ingredient added to the dish.
This time I wanted carrots to feature as the main ingredient for its
sweet flavour and nutritional value.
