Ingredients
Carrot Tagliatelle with Tomatoes and Arugula
Roast pine nuts in a hot pan without fat over medium heat. Wash basil, shake dry and pluck leaves. Finely grate Parmesan cheese. Grind half of the pine nuts with basil leaves in a mortar and mix with Parmesan.
Clean and peel carrots and cut into long narrow strips (tagliatelle) with a peeler. Wash arugula and spin dry. Wash oregano, shake dry and pluck the leaves.
Heat oil in a large frying pan. Sauté carrot tagliatelle in it over medium heat for 4 minutes. Deglaze with broth and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until liquid is reduced. Meanwhile, clean, wash and quarter cherry tomatoes.
Season carrot tagliatelle with salt and pepper. Add remaining pine nuts and tomatoes and steam for 2 minutes. Then fold in arugula and immediately arrange on plates. Sprinkle with oregano leaves and basil mix.

Healthy, because
The dietary fiber in carrots has a particularly favorable composition and regulates intestinal functions. In addition, the low-calorie roots are a rich source of cell-protecting beta-carotene.
Even smarter
It really doesn't get any better than this! If you prefer to enjoy the pasta vegan, replace the Parmesan with more pine nuts and a little olive oil.
