Turnip

Almond butter adds creaminess to this Asian-style sauce. Most spiral makers have a blade to make fettucine-shaped noodles, but you can use standard spaghetti-shaped noodles if you don’t have one.

Hearty roasted veggies – including purple potatoes, celery root, turnip and parsnips – are tossed with a quick herbed pesto made with parsley, basil and a lot of lemon for a fresh, zesty take on this classic side.

Roasting garlic is an easy way to add intense flavor to your meals. Here, we blend it with tender, sweet turnip and a touch of Parmesan to make a surprisingly creamy sauce – without any cream.

Turnips stand in as a substitute for potatoes in this dish, while caramelized onions add a rich depth of flavor with the help of a little healthy fat.
