A simple pasta dish with carrots and peas and a light tomato sauce made with tomato paste.
Giada's Pasta with Carrots and Peas
This is a meatless dish that I watched Giada de Laurentiis make one day on the Food Network channel. She used linguine, but I didn't have any in the pantry, so I used a combination of Barilla Plus and regular spaghetti pasta.
I was actually surprised to find that it made a very good sauce using no tomatoes - only tomato paste - in fact, that's exactly why I wanted to give it a try, and ya know, it worked!
Tomato paste, a few standard seasonings, and pasta water ... so simple, yet quite flavorful!
It's a light and perfect dish when you don't want a heavy meal to weigh you down, or if you happen to be observing Lent.
Don't forget to reserve some of the pasta water - you'll need it!
