Creamy Carrot Turmeric Pasta Sauce
Perfect for spring celebrations, this
gluten-free pasta dish consists of fresh veggies and nutritious plant-based ingredients that’ll make your spread shine! Instead of traditional red sauce, this dish calls for a creamy cashew carrot sauce (helloooo, beta carotene!) that’s boosted with nourishing turmeric. This golden spice is best known for helping maintain a healthy inflammatory response.†
If you’re into this recipe but looking for something that’s
AIP-compliant, simply skip the cashews and black pepper.
Creamy Carrot Turmeric Pasta Sauce
Pasta
Carrot turmeric sauce
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- ½ cup red onion (diced)
- 2 Tbsp. chopped garlic
- ½ tsp. turmeric
- 3 cups carrots (peeled and sliced thin (appx. 3 carrots))
- ¼ cup raw cashews
- 2 cups vegetable broth (or water)
- ½ tsp. black pepper
- ½ tsp. pink salt
- 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
Toppings (optional)
- Boil a pot of water for the pasta and cook according to directions. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce: Heat a medium stockpot over medium heat. Add the oil, then the onion, garlic, and turmeric. Saute, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Then add the carrot, cashews, and broth or water and cover. Cook for 10 minutes, until carrots are tender.
- Remove the carrot mixture from the heat and carefully transfer it to a blender. Add salt, pepper, and apple cider vinegar. Blend until smooth. (Conversely, use an immersion blender in the pot).
- Put the cooked pasta in the pot, pour in the carrot sauce, and mix well. To serve, plate and add a sprinkle of hemp seeds and sprouts. Add more salt and pepper to taste as desired.
