Fettucini carrotini - the carrot cookbook

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 tablespoons Butter or margarine
¼ cup Onion; minced
½ cup Celery; minced
1 cup Carrots; grated
2 cups Tomato; cut in pieces
16 ounces Tomato sauce; canned
¼ teaspoon Oregano
¼ teaspoon Garlic; minced
1 teaspoon Sugar
Salt and pepper
8 cups Water
Salt to taste
8 ounces Fettucine noodles
6 tablespoons Butter or margarine
¼ cup Parsley; minced
½ cup Sharp cheese; grated

Directions

In a medium saucepan, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine and saute the onions, celery and carrots until they are soft. Stir in the tomato pieces, tomato sauce, oregano and garlic. Blend them well and bring to a boil. Add the sugar, and salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the heat , cover the pan and simmer, stirring occasionally, for at least 30 minutes.

If the sauce gets too thick, add a little water.

Meanwhile, get the pasta ready by bringing the 8 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan, add salt to your taste and prepare the noodles according to package directions.

When the noodles are al dente, drain them well, return them to the pan, and toss them gently with the 6 tablespoons of butter or margarine and the parsley, making sure all are coated. If you have to keep them warm for a few minutes while you wait for the sauce, set the saucepan in a large container with a little hot water in it and set it on low heat.

When the sauce is ready, turn the noodles out into a serving dish, spoon the sauce over the top and sprinkle with grated cheese. Serve at once.
