Method

Using a vegetable peeler run it down each carrot carefully shaving off ribbons as you go. Set aside.
Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and add the spaghetti. After 3-4mins add the carrot ribbons to the cooking water and boil the spaghetti and carrots together for a further 2-3mins. Drain everything and return to the pan and toss in oil to prevent sticking together. Season.
Serve a bowl of the pasta and carrot mix into each bowl and serve by crumbling goat’s cheese and coriander over the top.

Top Tip for making Carrot ribbon spaghetti
