Carrot Pasta Sauce image

The fresh ingredients and the short cooking time, make this a perfect light summer pasta dish. I found this recipe online claiming to be a fake tomato sauce. It doesn't taste like tomato, but then again it doesn't really taste like carrot either. The way all of the flavors mesh, it's really an indescribable flavor. Everyone seems pretty skeptical until they try it.
