Carrot Spaghetti

Random thought...but I am full of them lately. Carrots = sweet and can be peeled to resemble spaghetti noodles. Tomato sauce = also sweet...maybe a compliment? And it is....!! An awesome, remarkably delicious one! Veg it out!

2 TBSP olive oil
4 medium carrots, peeled into long strips with the vegetable peeler
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1/2 medium onion, diced
4 hand torn basil leaves
3/4- 1 cup bottled tomato sauce
red pepper flakes
dried oregano
salt and pepper

Saute onions in olive oil for 3 minutes over medium heat. Once they begin in break down, add the garlic and saute for an additional minute. Lower the heat some and add the carrot strips and toss all together. For about 2 minutes, continually toss together the carrot strips and garlic/onion mixture until the carrots begin to soften some. Add the tomato sauce and basil and toss until evenly coated. Add red pepper, oregano, salt and pepper to your taste.

SOOOOO GOOOOD!!!
