Alfredo Pasta with Roasted Carrots

Both roasted carrots and Alfredo pasta tastes amazing separately and in my opinion, it pairs perfectly well in a plate too. A bowl of salad with pasta is a great way to balance the meal but during cold days, when I crave warm food, roasted veggie is a great option.

Notes

If you enjoy garlic like I do, you can mash the garlic cloves after they're soft and add it to the sauce.
Roasting time of the carrots will differ depending on the kind and size of carrots that you are using.
Any other kind of pasta can also be used in this dish.
