Ingredients
- 8 ounces, weight Bowtie Pasta
- 1 cup Pasta Cooking Water
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 1- 1/2 cup Cubed Fresh Carrots
- 1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic
- 1- 1/2 cup Frozen Green Peas
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- 1 jar (24 Oz Size) Alfredo Sauce (I Used Light Just To Make It A Little Healthier)
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Minced Basil
- Grated Parmesan Cheese, Optional For Garnish
Method
- Cook your pasta according to package instructions then drain it but reserve 1 cup of the pasta water before you do.
- Set pasta and water aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat with the butter.
- Melt your butter and then toss in your cubed carrots.
- Cover skillet and let the carrots saute for 4-5 minutes until your carrots become tender (if you dont have a lid for your biggest skillet a quick fix is to use a cookie sheet).
- Once your carrots are tender toss in your garlic and frozen peas.
- Continue to cook this mixture until your peas are heated through.
- Next stir in your dried spices, Alfredo sauce and basil.
- Allow this mixture to cook until your Alfredo sauce is nice and hot.
- To finish off the dish toss in your cooked pasta and use the pasta water to thin the sauce to the consistence of your choice.
- I topped mine with some Parmesan cheese but it would also be delicious topped with some chicken or shrimp.
- My inspiration for this recipe came from The Pioneer Womans Peas and Carrots recipe.
