02of 11Roasted Carrot Tart with Carrot-Green PestoView RecipeIn this vegetarian main-dish recipe, you use the entire carrot from root to greens, so there’s less waste. Roasted carrots are layered on top of a creamy ricotta base with pesto made using the green tops from carrots. Untrimmed carrots can be tough to find, but when you do, cut off the tops and store them separately or they’ll draw moisture from the carrots. If you don’t have carrot greens, use 1 cup of parsley instead. Source: EatingWell Magazine, January/February 2018

We add a splash of wine along with each addition of broth to give the dish a more pronounced wine flavor. If you’d prefer the wine to be more subtle, add the entire cup at the end of Step 3 and cook, stirring, until the liquid is gone, then begin adding the broth.
