Instructions
Step 1
-Cook your pasta in well salted water just until it is al dente and make sure to save about 1 cup of the cooking water.
-Render the bacon in a pot until crisp then add the grated parsnip. Cook on medium heat for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-Add the diced apple, the cooked pasta and about 1 cup of the cooking water (alternatively, you can use chicken or vegetable stock). Turn the heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, just until the parsnip is barely starting to become soft and fall apart. You want the parsnip to cook down and create the sauce but still leave a bit of texture in the dish.
-Adjust with more water or stock as needed to achieve a creamy pasta that is lightly dressed.
-Finish with the apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup grated parmesan, 2 tablespoons chopped chive and black pepper. Stir this in well then plate in a large bowl and immediately top with more parmesan and chives.
