Yield
Makes 2 cups of sauce, enough for about 6 servings

Ingredients

2 cups carrot juice (about 8 medium carrots, cleaned and peeled)

4 tablespoons of cold, unsalted butter

Pinch of cayenne pepper

Pinch of cinnamon

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon fine herbs (chopped chervil, chive, tarragon)

Preparation

Step 1
Juice the carrots through a vegetable juicer. Skim any foam off the top. Pour the juice into a saucepan and place over medium heat. Bring the sauce up to just before the boiling point (tiny bubbles will begin to form) and remove from heat. Whisk in cubes of cold butter one at a time until all are incorporated.
Step 2
Place back on the heat and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Add cayenne, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Just before serving, add the fine herbs. This sauce is best made minutes before serving.

Charred Vegetable Ragù

This sauce is slightly magical. The texture cloaks pasta much like a traditional meat sauce does, and the flavors are deep and rich, but it’s actually vegan!
