  • Cook pasta according to package directions; drain.

  • Place water and cooked carrots in a blender or food processor, and blend until very smooth.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan; add the flour and continue whisking until a thick paste has been made (called a "roux").
  • Add carrot puree, roux, and cheese to the pasta. Heat over low and stir until smooth and blended. Add salt to taste.
  • Serve with apple slices alongside.
