Hot Carrot Pasta

I got this from a friend, It's SO yummy!


Hot Carrot Pasta

2 1/2 C sliced carrots
1/4 C chopped onion
1/2 C butter ( I use about 6 T and it works just as good)
1 lb bag pasta
1/4 C minced or chopped parsley
 1/2 C parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Saute` carrots and onions in butter until tender but not browned. Add salt and pepper. Cook pasta and drain. Add pasta, parsley, and parmesan to cooked carrots. Toss and serve

What I added: I like to  add Chicken to it as well. I use about 2 breast. But you can use whatever you think. I dice up the chicken into bit size pieces. Then marinate it for a couple hours with 2 T of Balsamic Vinaigrette. I cook that first. Then I start the Carrots, Onions and butter. After a few minutes I start the pasta. That way its all done at about the same time.  And it makes a lot. Rob and I can use it for 3 meals. So I guess...6 servings about. Hope you like it!

Lorin and Debbie like to double the carrots and onions. And they add a little more butter too.

  1. So, Kammy let me steal this recipe for dinner here at Lorin's. It is SOOO GOOD. However, I would suggest doubling the carrots and onions. I like sauted carrots and onions:)
