Instructions

1
Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten free pasta according to package directions until al dente — tender with a slight resistance at the center. Before draining, scoop out at least 1/2 cup of the starchy cooking water and set it aside. Drain the pasta in a colander.
2
While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of the garlic-infused olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the carrot matchsticks and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes, until just beginning to soften.
