How to Make Carrot “Pasta”

1. Get a medium/ large carrot, cut the ends off, and peel off the outer layer. Then, peel long strips off until you reach the center (I personally dislike the inside of a carrot. I don’t know why… I don’t use that part lol)

2. Make the thicker strips thinner by slicing them lengthwise. This step is completely optional, but I like it do it! Now you have your finished “noodles”!

3. Put them into a frying pan with some olive oil (or avocado oil), salt, and pepper. Cook them for a couple minutes, pushing them around on the pan until they are soft

4. Add however much sauce you want to the pan. Stir the carrots and sauce together to warm it up. I used tomato sauce with onions :)

5. Enjoy! This is so good, even if the pictures don’t do it justice.

This looks delicious. Pasta is my all time favorite food but pretty much gave it up because how many calories it can rack up so this looks like a great alternative.

Loooove making this — although nothing beats pasta to me. (It’s the Italian in me!) I just make sure I don’t eat too much pasta, and I eat whole grain when I do. I do LOVE putting carrot strips into stir-fries and things like that though.

Basil, Walnut and Kale Pesto (Vegan, Gluten Free, Refined Sugar Free, Soy Free)

Ingredients:

• 1 lb brown rice spiral noodles (make sure to use GF noodles if you’re gluten free – I love the brown rice noodles available at Trader Joes and Whole Foods)
• 10-12 cloves garlic, minced fine (since we’re already going to get out the food processor to make the pesto, I recommend using it to chop the garlic to save yourself some time!)
• 2 c. fresh basil
• 2 c. fresh kale
• 3/4 c. raw, unsalted walnuts
• 1 onion, minced
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 2/3 c. water
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 Tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
• 1 bunch (about 10-12 stalks) asparagus, woody stalks removed and chopped into 1-2 inch pieces
• 20-30 cherry tomatoes, halved (or 2 medium tomatoes chopped into 1/2 inch chunks)

Directions:

Start a large pot of water boiling, and cook your noodles according to the package directions. When you drain the noodles, reserve a cup or two of the water to add to the pasta.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, add your onion, kale, basil, about 2/3 of the minced garlic, and walnuts and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are softened and the greens are just starting to wilt. (If you want your onion cooked very thoroughly you may want to add it a couple minutes ahead of everything else)

Once the greens and walnut mixture is ready, remove it from the pan and add it to a blender or food processor. Return the pan to the stove over medium heat and add asparagus and the rest of the garlic. Heat the asparagus for 3-6 minutes until it is softened but still somewhat crisp.

While the asparagus cooks, add water, salt, and nutritional yeast to the food processor with the cooked greens and blend until smooth.

Once your asparagus and pasta noodles are ready, combine all ingredients in a large bowl, adding the reserved pasta water to help the pesto coat the noodles. Serve warm or cold.

Fat-Free Pumpkin and Raisin Biscuits

If you want to make the dough itself a little sweeter, substitute agave nectar for a couple tablespoons of the soy milk. Or, if you want sweetness without calories, try adding a little stevia or your favorite sweetener to the batter.

Ingredients

• 2 cups white whole wheat flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon cloves
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup pumpkin (canned or cooked, pureed, and drained)
• 1/2 cup plain soy milk (plus additional, as needed)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425F and lightly oil a non-stick baking sheet. Mix the dry ingredients together well (flour through raisins). Add the pumpkin and mix until crumbly (do not overmix). Combine the soymilk and lemon juice and add it, stirring until a soft dough forms. If all flour is not moistened, add additional soymilk a teaspoon at at time until dough forms a ball.
2. Turn out the dough onto a well-floured surface and sprinkle the top lightly with flour. Roll out about 3/4 inch thick. Using a 1 1/2-2-inch wide biscuit cutter or glass dipped in flour, press straight down without twisting to cut into 12-15 biscuits.
3. Place the biscuits, sides lightly touching, on the oiled sheet. Bake until tops are lightly browned, 9-11 minutes. Serve hot.
