Name: Tagliatelle with Parsnips and Pancetta (Adapted from Babbo)
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 20 min
Yield: Makes 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/4 lb sliced pancetta, coarsely chopped; 2 tablespoons unsalted butter; 2 lb parsnips, peeled, quartered lengthwise, cored, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick pieces; 8 oz dried egg fettuccine or taglierini; 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley; Accompaniment: grated Parmigiano Reggiano

"The tagliatelle with parsnips and pancetta at Babbo is a wonder," says Aleksandra Crapanzano of New York, New York. " I would be thrilled to have the recipe."

A good substitute for the homemade tagliatelle used at Babbo is dried egg fettuccine or taglierini—we particularly like the Cipriani brand.
