Carrot Noodles & Pasta With Garlic Yogurt Sauce
Serves: 6
Cook time: 22 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes

6 rainbow carrots
6 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
salt
zest of 2 lemons
1/2 cup minced cilantro
1/4 tsp saffron
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt
8 cups carrot spirals (use a spiralizer to cut carrots into noodle-like strands)
4 cups cooked and cooled angel hair pasta
2 Tbsp lemon juice

Preheat oven to 375. Cut rainbow carrots in a medium dice, toss with 4 Tbsp of oil, and salt to taste. Spread on a baking sheet and roast until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately toss with zest of 1 lemon and cilantro. Set aside.

In a pan over medium, heat the remaining 2 Tbsp olive oil, saffron, and garlic. Once fragrant (after about 1 minute), turn heat to low and add yogurt and 1 cup water. Stir slowly until fully incorporated. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Toss the carrot noodles, angel hair, and roasted carrots with yogurt sauce; divide between 6 bowls and sprinkle each with lemon juice and remaining zest.
