Those pesky carrotisms

Got a lot of carrots laying around and don't know what to do with them? Pesto them. While not technically a verb, pesto has many uses, although, the best is to serve it with pasta. So I took four carrots and roasted them. Then I roasted garlic. Then, something amazing involving sausage happened and then I ate.

4 carrots
4 cloves of unpeeled garlic
Put these in the oven and roast them (350 for 30 minutes)
1/2 C of onion sauteed in
1 T of Olive Oil with a smattering of crushed red peppers
Meanwhile, I placed
1 C of parsley into a food processor. I let the onion and the carrots cool a little (5 minutes) and then chopped the carrots a little smaller and peeled the garlic. It all went into the food processor with
2 T walnuts
And then I let it rip and I had a delicious orange colored pesto loaded with vitamins and nutrients and healthy fats.

I cooked up some chicken sausage and brown rice pasta and put it all together and it was magic... But not very photogenic.
