Coastal Carrot Fettuccine with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Pumpkin Seeds

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 cup grape tomatoes, quartered
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil, divided
  • 3 large rainbow or orange carrots, peeled
  • 1 cup Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds, toasted, for garnish

Cooking Directions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and saute until soft and fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of the basil and saute until the tomatoes burst and release their juices, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, slice the carrots into ribbons, using either a spiral slicer (aka spiralizer) or a vegetable peeler (this is easiest when you hold the carrot down on a flat surface).
  2. Add the carrots, Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper to the pan, and cook until the carrots are tender, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining ½ tablespoon basil and the pumpkin seeds before serving.
