RAW CARROT PASTA WITH GINGER-LIME PEANUT SAUCE

RAW CARROT PASTA WITH GINGER-LIME PEANUT SAUCE image

Categories Carrot

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

For the Carrot Pasta:
5 large carrots, peeled and spiraled into noodles
1/3 cup roasted cashews
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
For the Ginger-Lime Peanut Sauce:
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
4 tablespoons coconut milk
2 tablespoons liquid aminos
Pinch cayenne pepper
2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 tablespoon lime juice
Kosher salt to taste

Steps:

To Prepare the Ginger-Lime Peanut Sauce: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix together until smooth and creamy. To Prepare the Carrot Pasta: Wash carrots well, peel them, and pat them dry. Using your spiral slicer, make noodles out of all of the carrots. It will be more difficult to make the noodles once there is only a few inches of carrot left, so you can grate what's left of the carrot. Place all carrot noodles into a large serving bowl. Pour the Ginger-Lime Peanut Sauce over the noodles and gently toss together (I use my hands for this part). Serve with roasted cashews (or peanuts) and freshly chopped cilantro.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful herbs, and creamy peanut butter will make all the difference in this dish.
Don't be afraid to adjust the heat level: Add more or less ginger or chili flakes to suit your taste.
If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create long, thin strips of zucchini.
You can also use other vegetables in this dish, such as bell peppers, carrots, or broccoli.
Serve immediately for the best flavor.

Conclusion:

Peanut ginger pasta is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for busy weeknights. The combination of creamy peanut butter, spicy ginger, and fresh vegetables is sure to please even the most discerning palate. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, give this peanut ginger pasta a try. You won't be disappointed!
