Ingredients
  • Sea Salt
  • 4 cups carrots peeled and chopped into 1 inch pieces
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 Tbsp. rice vinegar
  • 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound gluten-free whole grain pasta
  • Chives for garnish
Instructions
  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. Add the carrots to the pot and boil them for 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the carrots, shaking off any excess water. Don't discard the cooking water.
  3. Place the drained carrots in a blender. Add the garlic, vinegar and oil. Puree until very smooth. Season generously with salt.
  4. Bring the pot of water back to a boil and add the pasta. Cook just to al dente (a few minutes short of the manufacturer's directions). When the pasta is cooked, drain it and return it to the empty pot. Add the carrot pesto and toss to coat.
  5. Transfer the pasta to a serving platter and garnish with chives. Serve hot.
