NOTES: Everybody's idea of "Al Dente" is slightly different. Literally "Al Dente" means "to the tooth". So my Al Dente is when you can easily bite through the pasta, without any crunch, just not mushy!
Mix all ingredients except the wine and macaroni. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer for 5 minutes or until the carrots are almost cooked.
Add the macaroni and wine and simmer until the macaroni is "Al Dente". Do not over cook!
