Carrot Spaghetti

[njacceber]

Thanks for posting this- I never thought about using carrots for pasta, but this was incredible! I used plenty of olive oil (unfortunately I'm very well known for this), sautéed  fresh garlic, mushrooms, red onions, tomatoes, and parsley in a large pan and did my carrots on the other side of my stove with the basic salt and pepper deal. after everything was cooked through I combined them and sprinkled fresh parsley over the top. I also, being so known for my love of olives and olive oil, had some calamata olives on the side. It was sooo good, even my mother liked it, and when she heard I was making pasta with carrots, she thought it sounded too weird to be good. Next time I'll definitely add some fresh spinach to the sautee pan, I was out of them this time.
Thanks again!

Great recipe! It's simple, inventive, and most importantly YUMMY. I used a few TBS of plain canned tomato sauce with basil and oregano and lots of garlic and onions. Terrific.

This is absolutely AWSOME!!!   Just finished off a large bowl of it!   I'm not a big fan of carrots, however after being lazy and not going to the store I didn't have much left to work with.  I had a few carrots, spaghetti sauce, and garlic left.  So I thought I'd give this a try.  I used some olive oil, lots of garlic (I'm a garlic freak)  and they turned out perfect!  didn't take too long to make either.  I'm just mad now that I don't have any more carrots left to make more.   carrot "noodles" are even better than pasta!!!!

This recipe is awesome, eating some right now with dinner-marinated green beans(from this site) and couscous?-Dd I spell that right  My plate is colorful. The carrots taste even better cold. Only thing additional I added was Spike no salt seasoning. Great recipe, I know this will become a favorite

Sweet LORD!
This was amazing.
I followed the recipe exactly and made my own pasta sauce with some pure tomato paste, basil, mushrooms, garlic and eggplant.
At the last minute I cubed up some baked tofu and slipped it into my little bowl of carrot spaghetti loveliness.

Thanks for the recipe. It's a winner.

Ate this again last night for dinner, it's sooooooooo good. Simple, yet flavorful recipe. This recipe makes me love carrots even more.

This was sooooooo yummy and such a great alternative to high cal/high carb pasta! I added a little zucchini and topped it with a red sauce and  a bit of soy mozzarella. Be careful splicing the carrots! I definitely cut myself pretty bad ...but it was all worth it for this fantastic recipe.

This was pretty crazy good. No sauce necessary. I added a few raisins for fun and was glad I did.

Eating this right now, I love this easy, but tasty recipe. I'm going to bring this to my book club meeting next weekend. I hope they enjoy it as much as I do.

I could actually live off of this and nothing else.  It's wonderful!  I use trader Joe's Tomato & Basil sauce, and the whole recipe is ready, start to finish, in about 15 minutes.

Wow! This is very good. I think it would be harder to make for a lot of people due to the carrot peeling, but it's a great alternative to pasta! (My husband said it would be better with some pasta in it ; ))  I used 4 or 5 carrots for two small portions, about 1/8 of an onion, and two large cloves of garlic. I added a little bit of red pepper flakes with the s and p. I usually make my own sauce..but for this fast version I used some jarred sweet basil sauce. Thanks! : )

Delish!  I'l be making a 2nd batch to take to work tomorrow.  I have a feeling this will become a standard quick-fix dinner.  And after peeling the carrots down to thin sticks, they are the perfect size treats for my bunny and rats.  Yum for everyone!

I was trying to make this recipe, but it was very difficult to peel the carrots into long thin strips - mine kept breaking halfway and were way too thin. I finally gave up - I can't spend an hour just peeling the carrots! I would love to try again another time, though, so I was hoping someone would have some advice??? Thanks!

I found it just a little bit annoying to do, but easier when I used bigger carrots. I think it was also easier doing it while holding the carrot down on a cutting board (flat on the board),  holding the carrot at the top, and peeling from top to bottom. When it got too difficult to peel it, I just sliced it as thin as possible. How were the breaking? Were you pushing down to peel? Try to press down as you go all the way to the bottom.
