Creamy Spaghetti with Carrots, Stracchino, and Almond Crumble

Hello everyone, here I am again writing a little recipe for you. Do you believe that this first course really came from my creativity, and we were thrilled with it? Three main ingredients, some spices, some tasty decorations, and a spaghetti was born, finger-licking good. Even those I don’t have. I’ll show you how I prepared them, don’t think I’m presumptuous, but this time I’m sure it will win you over, word of Briciola.

  • Cost: Very cheap
  • Preparation time: 10 Minutes
  • Portions: 2
  • Cooking methods: Slow fire
  • Cuisine: Italian

Ingredients

Let’s see what we need

  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 onion
  • 4 carrots (medium carrots)
  • to taste extra virgin olive oil
  • to taste salt
  • water (3.5 oz for cooking carrots)
  • stracchino (3.5 oz)
  • almond crumble (I chopped 6 toasted almonds)
  • spaghetti (6.7 oz)
  • spices (thyme, parsley, rosemary)

Let’s get cooking.

Steps

The first thing to do is clean the carrots, garlic, and onion. Chop everything finely and put it in a pan. I always use the “pasta toss” pan so once the spaghetti is cooked, I can pour the pasta directly to combine everything.

  • Now turn on the stove or your induction hob and start wilting the vegetables. Add oil, I use two/three tablespoons you can add more if you prefer, spices (chopped rosemary, parsley, and thyme) I used the ready-made ones in a jar, salt, and a bit of water to cook everything.

  • Once the vegetables are cooked, you’ll see about 10/15 minutes, and they will be ready. Transfer them to the immersion blender jug and create a nice cream. Put everything back in the pan, turn on low heat, and start adding the stracchino in chunks, as if you were decorating a pizza.

  • Now prepare the water for the pasta, bring it to a boil and add our spaghetti. Once they are ready, drain and pour directly into the pan. Mix and plate. Now add our toasted almond crumble on top of the pasta. All that’s left to say is, enjoy your dish, healthy, quick, and tasty.

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
