Creamy Carrot Carbonara

Step 1: Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add oil and pancetta and cook, stirring frequently, for 4 minutes or until almost crisp and then add carrots, onion and garlic and sprinkle with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender and lightly browned and then stir in cream and remove from the heat.

Step 2: Meanwhile bring a large pot of water to the boil over high heat and add spaghetti and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes or until al dente.

Step 5: Stir in pasta mixture and toss over low heat for 1 minute or until sauce is creamy and coats past (do not allow sauce to boil).
