Ingredients:
For the Sauce:
3 Carrots
½ Onion (chopped)
3 Garlic cloves (chopped)
1 tbsp White miso paste
1 tbsp Olive oil
For the topping:
a bunch of Parsley (1/3)
5 tbsp Panko breadcrumbs
Black pepper
For the pasta:

Recipe:
- Make the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan, over medium heat. Cook the carrots, onion and garlic for 5 minutes, until softer. Add the miso paste, 300 ml of water and a little black pepper. Bring to a boil, cover the pan, lower the heat and simmer gently until carrots are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
- Cook the pasta: In the meantime cook the pasta, in boiling salted water until al dente. Reserve 2 tbsp of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
- Make the topping: Heat up 1 tsp of olive oil in a frying pan, and add the breadcrumbs. Fry until golden, turn off the heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
- Blend the sauce: Place the carrot mixture in a food processor, along with the reserved pasta water and blend until creamy and smooth. Pour over the pasta, mix well to coat and serve with the parsley breadcrumbs.
