Easy Lazy Garlic Pasta with Carrots & Asparagus

Do you like your pasta saucy or fried?

I mean I like Pasta but for some reason I don’t like it the traditional pasta-sauce way. That’s all. The few times I enjoyed Pasta was simply tossed with veggies with lots of pepper and garlic.

So, I want to simplify it even more on those days when I am really lazy but craving something warm and super yummy. Garlic pasta is the answer. I like to use garlic in few different ways. Like roasted, ghee roasted, roasted with herbs etc etc.

But wait, even on the lazy days how can I leave pasta without any add-ons? Search the fridge….find Carrots & Asparagus. We got a pair. Add olive oil, salt & pepper and throw them in the oven. My veggies are cooked by the time pasta is done. Easy-Peasy.

Lets start!
