Cook pasta according to package directions; drain.
Peel carrots and cut in half; steam until tender. (You can do this on the stove, in the microwave, or using a steaming basket.)
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.
