Pasta in creamy carrot sauce

"Can we have pasta tomorrow?", asked my older one. How could I say no, specially since my Italian basil plant was in need of a haircut? This is a recipe I made up, and it worked superbly well.

200 gms pasta
1 carrot
1/2 onion
1 tomato
3 pods garlic
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
1/2 tsp paprika powder
Salt to taste
1 cup milk
1 tbsp cornflour
1 tbsp butter
2 tbsp grated cheese
Basil leaves for garnish

Method:
Cook the pasta according to the directions on the packet. Drain and keep aside, and reserve some of the drained water.
Heat the butter, add sliced garlic and saute for 30 seconds. Add chopped onions and saute till it turns transparent.
Meanwhile, blend the tomatoes and carrot til you get a fairly smooth paste. Add to the frying onions, and saute till the raw smell goes. Add the spices, mix well, then add milk.
When the milk comes to a boil, add the cornflour, and mix so it forms a nice sauce. Add grated cheese, and let the sauce bubble for about a minute.
Add pasta to the sauce, mix well, and add the reserved water if needed.
Garnish with torn basil leaves, and serve.
