PASTA WITH CARROTS, SAGE, AND SCALLIONS
I adapted this from an old Vegetarian Times cookbook. It's a big hit with my carrot-loving hubby -- I think we eat this at least once a week! The original recipe called for farfalle/bow tie pasta, but it really works with any shape. You can adjust the amount of sage according to how big the leaves are -- what you are going for is a nice handful. Whatever you do, please do not try to sub dried sage, it won't work! You can, however, use whatever type of hard grating cheese you have handy -- I have used Parmesan, Asiago, and Pecorino Romano, all with good results. (The original recipe called for Monterey Jack, but I thought that was just weird...) Anyway, hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

Steps:
- Bring a big pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente. When it's done, drain and put back in the pot to keep warm.
- While the pasta cooks, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the carrots and cook, stirring frequently, until they are lightly browned, about 5 minutes (more or less depending on how thinly they are cut). Add the scallions and sage to the pan and stir around for a couple minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If the pasta is still cooking, set the skillet off to the side and keep warm.
- Add the butter and lemon juice to the drained pasta and stir until the butter is melted and everything is combined well. Divide the pasta among 4 serving plates and top with the carrot mixture. Serve garnished with the cheese.
