This dish was extremely easy to make and only resulted in a dirty pan, plate, cutting board, and some measuring cups. For me that's not a lot because I'm pretty good at using every pot and pan in sight when making a simple meal for no reason whatsoever. It took me about an hour to make only because I needed half and half and my husband had grabbed evaporated milk by mistake, so I had to wait for him to get the half and half and get home to finish cooking. Without that slip-up, this is easily a 30 minute meal.
This is a nice feel-good pasta dish that's very hearty and packed with veggies. Look at all those veggies!
We also had a Caesar salad on the side, so I'm pretty sure we got our five servings in for the day! If I use this recipe again, I will likely replace the carrots for something else. They were a tad overpowering, and I don't like sweet tasting pasta dishes, but if you like to cook with carrots, you'll probably enjoy it. For you meat lovers, this would be good with Italian sausage or chicken. My final verdict? This is a good, quick meal for a busy weeknight, but it does not make a good lunch the next day and it would be better without the carrots.
