The magic happens with the carrots, tomato paste, and the red wine. You start with creating some roasted aromas by really heating the carrots and the tomato paste.

This will give your sauce a nice depth. Next, to this, the carrots are kind of caramelizing, balancing out the sourness of your tomato paste. The red wine again adds another dimension.

How you do it:

2. Next cut your carrots, zucchini into small cubes. Mince your garlic, onions, and spices.
3. Now heat a good amount of olive oil in a pot and add the Onions, garlic and the carrots in one. Heat them through and give them a good stir now and then to make sure they do not burn. Now, add the zucchini and heat them through again, add a little olive oil if needed.  As soon as the onions get soft and the carrots slightly golden and brown, add the tomato paste and the herbs and stir again.
4. Throw your pasta in.
5. Add the Pilati tomato cubes and stir again until they start to fall apart than add the red wine and stir. Now its time for the peas as well as salt and pepper.
6. Let this simmer for some more minutes until everything is well cooked and the sauce thickens a bit.
7. Serve together with some nice Grana Padano or a cashew chunks, nutritional yeast and salt mixture to substitute the cheese.
