Cook onions gently until they are clear but not brown (called 'sweating'). Add carrots, tomatoes and water (mash tomatoes if preferred). Cook until the carrots are half done then add pasta.

Personal Notes:
I created this recipe and I hope you try it and enjoy it.

The dried 'pomegranates' can be bought at a Middle Eastern store. Ask the store keeper for the dried red berries since it is not clear that the translation into english for this product is actually pomegranates, but it is believed to be so. Most definitely not cranberries.

Be sure to store these dried berries in the freezer and they will last a long, long time. Otherwise they do not have much of a shelf life.

Variations:
leave out the pasta and serve on rice or add potatoes.
leave out the pomegranets and use ground beef.
