Macaroni with Fresh Basil and Carrots

What a teriffic lunch idea! This meal is quick and so light and delicious, it makes the perfect light meal. I came up with this by just using what was most readily available to me in my kitchen. I always make the best creations that way...

Ingredients:

- 1/4 pound large macaroni
- 8 extra large fresh basil leaves
- 1 shredded carrot
- parmesean cheese to top
- salt
- pepper
- crushed red pepper
- olive oil

To Make:

In a medium pot, boil water and cook your macaroni according to the package. Always making sure you keep it "al-dente". Salt the water when it starts to boil.

In the meantime, shred your carrot, wash the fresh basil and rip apart the basil with your hands.

Once your pasta is ready, drain and in a large serving dish, drizzle olive oil in the bottom and dump your drained pasta into the serving dish. Add your carrots on top and salt the top. Start mixing together adding more olive oil and handfuls of basil as you go. Add some parmesan cheese on the top and mix in. Top off with some fresh black pepper, salt to taste and crushed red pepper.

FABULOUS. :-)
