Colorful carrots are the stars of this pesto dish! When creating the pesto, feel free to make it your own. If you don't have marcona almonds on hand, add any kind of nut you'd like. Don't worry if your nuts aren't completely blended. The added crunch over the tender carrots makes for a perfect pairing.
