Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp dry wheat pasta stars (check egg label)
  • 1 carrot, peeled and steamed until tender
  • 1 tsp pasteurised plain ricotta (contains milk)
  • 1 tsp olive oil

Preparation

  1. Use the already steamed, tender carrot specified in the ingredient list; if starting with raw carrot, steam separately until it squashes easily and allow additional preparation time.

  2. Cook the dry wheat pasta stars according to their packet in unsalted water until very soft, with no hard centre. Check the chosen product for egg and any other declared allergens.

  3. Blend the fully tender carrot with enough safe cooking liquid for a moist sauce. Stir in pasteurised ricotta and olive oil.

  4. Mix the soft cooked pasta with the carrot–ricotta sauce, adding a little water if it becomes thick. Cool to a suitable serving temperature and check for gummy lumps.
