So, let's cook.

I made Spaghetti with a carrot and thyme pesto yesterday. Compared with a traditional pesto, it's more workday compatible because it is made without garlic. I found the recipe in my favorite household magazine.

The dish has got a very smooth, tender and fruity note to it, with some goat cheese as a special twist.

The ingredients for two persons are:

half a pound of carrots,
3 or 4 shallots,
a tbs thyme leaves,
50 grams of pine seeds,
100 grams of parmesan,
a chile shot or some chile oil,
a teaspoon of honey,
grated peel of 1/2 lemon,
2 pieces of fresh goat cheese,
400 grams spaghetti.

Preparation is simple and fast:
chop and cube the carrots and shallots:


Sautee them in some neutral oil (sunflower oil would be best), add the honey and a good helping of chile oil or -shot as well as the thyme leaves and stir fry until the shallots get glassy:


In the meantime, grate the lemon peel and the parmesan, roast the pine seeds without oil in a skillet, pour everything in a mixing bowl and blend it a bit:






Finish line:
cube the goat cheese, cook the pasta and mix it with the pesto.

DONE!
Serve on a plate, top off with the goat cheese and some thyme for decoration:


Enjoy.

Apart from "ze Odeur" aspect, it's the fact that carrots and garlic as leading tastes don't go well together; a "no good" verdict from me. You wouldn't eat your chocolate with garlic, would you?toon1.gif
