Vegan Carbonara With Smoky Carrot Rashers

medium carrots (, cut into very thin ribbons. I used a potato peeler to do this.)

oil ((any mild tasting oil, I used olive oil))

maple syrup

smoked paprika

salt

spaghetti ((use GF spaghetti to make this meal gluten free))

| 1/2 cup raw cashews ((soaked for at least 2 hours unless you have a super duper blender like a Vitamix or Blendtec . If you forget to soak them then cover them in boiling water for 20 minutes instead).)

| 1/2 cup ground almonds

| 1/2 cup nutritional yeast

mls | 1 cup non-dairy milk ((see recipe note))

little tiny piece of garlic. I had a medium sized clove and used just less than a quarter. It doesn't sound much but remember that the sauce doesn't get much cooking so the flavour will be too strong if you use much more.

salt

pepper
