Put the garlic in the oil&carrots, cook for a minute, then put in the tomato. When the tomato is warm, add the cooked pasta. Top with parmigiano. It's a great, light summer pasta dish. We had it for dinner tonight.

I cooked virtually the exact thing last night except I cook the pasta pre-dente and finish it off in the sauce. Add some anchovies and black olives, chili flakes and you have the classic puttanesca sauce.
