Cilantro Mint Carrot Pasta

My go to comfort food is pasta!

It’s spicy, tangy, and minty, but healthy and let me tell you, super tasty!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of carrot pasta (I bought it from a local vendor!)

• 1 cup cilantro

• 1 cup parsley

• 1/4 cup fresh mint

• 1/2 green chili (Optional: keep the seeds)

• 1/2 lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon ginger paste

Instructions For The Sauce (Indian Version of Pesto):

1. Add cilantro, parsley, mint, green chili, lemon juice, and ginger paste in a blender with some water and blend it into a pesto sauce!

2. Boil the pasta

3. Drain water

4. Add your pesto into a pan with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.

5. Stir for a few minutes, lower the heat, and add in your pasta.

6. Add salt to taste salt and let the pasta and pesto cook for a couple of minutes.

Instead of traditional nuts, I added home made spicy baked garbanzo beans. Honestly, I did not miss the traditional cheese or cream!
