INSTRUCTIONS
SERVING OPTIONS
Extract the juice from 3 large trimmed and cleaned carrots. In a food
processor, chop the basil, and garlic; adding a little of the carrot juice
to aid the processing. Stop the processor and add salt and pepper to taste.
Add the pine nuts, lemon rind and process, adding more juice as needed. Add
the oil to thicken.
Heat the Sauce : place a skillet or saute pan over medium heat and toast
the nuts; add the solution from the processor and heat gently. Mix 1
tablespoon of the reserved pulp with the remaining juice. Heat to reduce to
a 'thin' consistency (note that the pulp will thicken the sauce somewhat).
Do not allow to boil. Add lemon juice to taste. Add the cooked pasta to the
pan and toss to coat well. Serve with romano shavings or fat-free grated
Parmesan cheese. McServing: 377.5 cals, 23.3%ff (10g fat)
Lean Bean Variation : use beans in place of nuts. McServing: 400 cals,
14%ff (6.3g fat)

TIP: Freeze some pulp in 1 to 2 tablespoon portions. Add to broths,
gravies, soups, stews. Pure dry pulp will thicken the way a mashed potato
will. - patH
