Ingredients
 

for the carrot green sauce

  • 2 cups carrot leaves without the stalks
  • ½ inch ginger
  • 3 green chilies
  • 1 teaspoon toasted cumin
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons grated coconut
  • 2 tablespoons peanuts
  • juice of half lemon
  • cup extra virgin olive oil
  • salt to taste

rest of the ingredients

  • 6 to 7 spring carrots
  • 2 cups pasta (I used fusilli)
  • feta cheese to crumble on top (optional)

Instructions
 

  • To make the sauce, put everything in a food processor (except olive oil) and grind until it forms a smooth paste. Now, pour oil and run the processor once again to form a creamy sauce.
  • Using a vegetable peeler, peel the carrots into thin strips.
  • Boil enough water in a pot for the pasta. Once done, add salt and drop the pasta in boiling water. Set the timer for 7 minutes. After 7 minutes, drop shaved carrots and let it cook for 1 minute. Drain everything into a serving bowl and pour the carrot leave sauce on the same bowl.
  • Toss everything together and serve warm.
  • Feel free to add some feta or parmesan cheese on top.
