Serves 4
1 tbsp olive oil
200g streaky bacon or pancetta, chopped
2 parsnips, peeled and chopped into 1cm pieces
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
Salt and black pepper
2 garlic cloves, crushed
320g spaghetti
20g butter
50g Parmesan, grated, plus extra to serve
- Heat the oil in a large pan over a low heat and cook the bacon for 5-6 minutes until lightly golden.
- Add the parsnips and rosemary, season with salt and a generous amount of black pepper and continue to cook over a low heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic for the last 2-3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain well, reserving some of the cooking water.
- Add the pasta to the pan with the bacon and parsnips. Stir in the butter and Parmesan, along with a splash of the reserved cooking water.
- Stir together to form a glossy sauce. If it looks a little dry, stir in a little more of the cooking water.
- Serve immediately topped with some extra Parmesan.
