Pasta with Esme Sauce, Braised Carrots

braisedcarrots Esme sauce from Vegan Yum Yum, second try at carrots from the New York Times The boy was off at a beer tasting, and I wanted to make something easy to go with my second try at the carrots. Then I remembered that I hadn't had Esme sauce in a while. (Esme sauce is basically every kind of vegan deliciousness combined: Soy sauce, miso, tahini, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and mirin (I used sherry) all in equal parts, with some garlic thrown in.) I think I should have used less sauce to more pasta, because this turned out slightly too strong, but it was still super delicious. I threw some artichoke hearts in there too. And the second time was the charm for the carrots! This time I used half Braggs, half water (for a total of 1/3rd cup), 2 tb olive oil, 3 or 4 cloves garlic (I like garlic), NO SALT, some pepper, and 2 tb Parisian Bonne Herbs from Penzys. And this time, it was delicious, just like I knew it would be. They were extra good mixed in to the pasta.
