ROASTED CARROT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine the carrots, onion, olive oil and garlic in a small bowl, coating the carrots and onions with the olive oil. Spread mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until vegetables are tender and have achieved light color, about 45 minutes. Occasionally stir vegetables. Puree the roasted vegetables, lemon juice, and sea salt with enough stock to form a sauce.
• Variation:
• Use half parsnips and half carrots in the recipe. Follow same cooking instructions.

ROASTED CARROT PASTA SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan)/200°C/gas mark 6.
• Place 6 sliced carrots in a roasting dish and drizzle with olive oil, thyme leaves and sea salt. Mix well then roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are cooked through.
• Meanwhile heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a saucepan.
• Add a chopped onion and sauté until soft and golden brown, around 10 minutes.
• Add 2 cloves crushed garlic and cook for a further minute.
• Pour in a tin of chopped tomatoes, 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar and 1 tbsp tomato puree. Bring the boil then reduce the heat to low and cook for 20-30 minutes until slightly thickened.
• When the carrots are done add them to the tomato sauce.
• Allow to cool a little then blend with a handheld blender or pour into a jug blender (make sure it's not too hot if you're doing this) and blend until smooth.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.

RAVIOLI WITH PESTO AND ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. (I cooked our veggies in our toaster oven, first on slow bake, heating them only from the bottom, and then on bake, heating them from the top and bottom, for the last 10 minutes or so. If you don't have this setting on your appliance, you may want to cover them with foil for the first 10 minutes.).
• Cut the carrots, tomatoes, pepper and onion. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and spread the veggies evenly. Drizzle the veggies with olive oil and sprinkle with a dash of salt and a dash of pepper.
• Cook the veggies for 10 minutes.
• Whisk the olive oil, water and pesto mixture together in a small saucepan. Heat on medium-high heat and whisk frequently until the pesto begins to boil.
• Put a pot on for the ravioli.
• Has it been 10 minutes yet? Flip the veggies and set the timer for another 10 minutes.
• When the pesto mixture comes to a boil, turn it down and simmer for 5 minutes, whisking often.
• When the water is ready for the ravioli, throw it in the pot. The pesto mixture will begin to thicken as the ravioli cooks.
• After 20-25 minutes total, your veggies, pesto and ravioli should be ready. Drain the ravioli and throw all of the ingredients together in a large bowl. Serve with Parmesan, if desired.
