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.

Looks great! How do you feel it would be if one DID add some garlic to it? I love garlic and actually could care less at work if I reek of it.

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?

HMM, Maybe I ought to try some garlic with chocolate since when I cook carrots, I add garlic to them. I don't care much for my carrots "candied."
