Steps:
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of water according to the directions on the package. Drain and rinse with cold water. While the pasta is cooking put the broccoli in a steamer basket over a large pot of boiling water and steam it for 3 minutes. Add the snow peas and sugar snap peas and steam for 2 minutes more.
- Toast the peanuts in a dry pan over a medium heat until they become fragrant, about 3 minutes. Set them aside to cool. Make the sauce by pureeing the peanut butter, soy sauce, water, vinegar, lime juice, scallion, ginger, sugar and red pepper flakes in a food processor or blender until smooth.
- Right before serving, toss the pasta with 3/4 cup of the peanut sauce. Divide into 6 serving bowls and top each serving with the vegetables. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the vegetables. Coarsely chop the peanuts, sprinkle them on top and serve.
RAW CARROT PASTA WITH GINGER-LIME PEANUT SAUCE
Categories Carrot
Number Of Ingredients 13
Steps:
- To Prepare the Ginger-Lime Peanut Sauce: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix together until smooth and creamy. To Prepare the Carrot Pasta: Wash carrots well, peel them, and pat them dry. Using your spiral slicer, make noodles out of all of the carrots. It will be more difficult to make the noodles once there is only a few inches of carrot left, so you can grate what's left of the carrot. Place all carrot noodles into a large serving bowl. Pour the Ginger-Lime Peanut Sauce over the noodles and gently toss together (I use my hands for this part). Serve with roasted cashews (or peanuts) and freshly chopped cilantro.

Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are firm, smooth, and free of blemishes. Organic carrots are a great option, as they are grown without the use of pesticides and herbicides.
- Use a spiralizer or mandoline to create carrot noodles: This is the quickest and easiest way to make carrot pasta. If you don't have a spiralizer or mandoline, you can also use a vegetable peeler to create thin strips of carrot.
- Marinate the carrot noodles: Marinating the carrot noodles in a flavorful dressing helps to soften them and infuse them with flavor. You can use a variety of different dressings, such as olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs, or a store-bought Asian-inspired dressing.
- Cook the carrot noodles briefly: Carrot noodles only need to be cooked for a few minutes, or until they are just tender. Overcooking them will make them mushy.
- Add your favorite toppings: Once the carrot noodles are cooked, you can add your favorite toppings. Some popular options include shredded chicken, tofu, vegetables, and nuts.
Conclusion:
Raw carrot pasta is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make meal. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it is also a good source of fiber and vitamins. With a variety of different toppings to choose from, there is sure to be a carrot pasta recipe that everyone will enjoy.
