Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water according to the instructions on the package and let it drain in a colander.
Peel and finely dice shallot, garlic and ginger. Peel and roughly grate the carrots. Finely grate the cheddar cheese.
Let the olive oil get hot in a saucepan and sauté shallot, garlic and ginger cubes in it. Add shredded carrots and fry briefly. Add the cream and orange juice and bring to the boil. Add the cheddar cheese to the carrots and let it melt. Then season with salt and pepper. Mix in the pasta and serve immediately.
Tip: Black penne look particularly good with this dish.
