Yes, I know it sounds an odd one, but trust me, it was excellent. And just the thing after a wet afternoon wandering round Toys R Us spending your birthday money.
It's a Jamie Oliver recipe, slightly hacked about.
You'll need:
3 or so rashers of smoked streaky bacon each, chopped into small pieces
2 large parsnips, peeled and thinly sliced
some butter
a large handful of grated parmesan cheese (I bet mature cheddar would also be good here)
black pepper
fresh rosemary - the leaves from 3 or so stems
a clove of garlic, finely chopped
your pasta of choice
Chuck the bacon in a pan with a knob of butter, the garlic and the rosemary. Fry for two or three minutes, then throw in the parsnips, and fry for another five or six until the parsnips are softened and the bacon is crispy.
Meanwhile, stick your pasta on. Once it's al dente, drain (keep back a little of the cooking water), and throw into the pan with the parsnips/bacon etc. Add another couple of knobs of butter, the parmesan cheese, and a little of the pasta cooking water to loosen it all up. Season with lots of black pepper.
Mmmmm.
