The method

1

Peel and finely slice the parsnips, then chop your garlic and remove the thyme leaves from the stem.

2

Heat the olive oil in a large, non stick pan. Fry the pancetta and herbs for 2 minutes, then add in the garlic and parsnips.

3

Cook for a further 3 minutes on a medium heat until the pancetta is slightly golden and the parsnips have softened.

4

Cook your tagliatelle according to pack instructions, then drain (reserve some of the pasta water).

5

Mix the pasta with the pancetta and parsnips. Stir in the butter and parmesan, adding some of the pasta water if needed. Season to your liking and enjoy!
