Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water.
Peel the carrots and cut them into thin matchsticks or julienne strips. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the garlic cloves (minced) and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the carrots to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
Stir in the poppy seeds, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet along with the reserved pasta water. Toss everything together to coat the noodles evenly in the sauce.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with additional salt or pepper.
Serve warm, garnished with a sprinkle of additional poppy seeds and parsley if desired.
