One plate dish: Japanese turnip, bacon and carrot pasta with soy sauce and butter sauce

I love simple one plate dishes especially when it is healthy and satisfying.

This one uses Japanese turnip and its leaves with carrots but you can use almost anything in the fridge.





I think you have seen these Japanese turnips in supermarkets.




Japanese turnips can also be eaten raw. It does not even have to be peeled. You can add it in salads. I like to slice it thinly, sprinkle salt and leave for 5 minutes so the turnip can sweat. Yum!!



Okay, back to the pasta.

Ingredients for the pasta(for 2-3 people):

1 Japanese turnip cut in to thin fan-shape
1/2 carrot cut thinly
3 strips of bacon cut into 1 centimeters
All the leaves on the turnip, cut in 3-4 centimeters
Boiled pasta of your choice (I used spaghetti)
Olive oil
One packet of Kayanoya vegetable dashi (as in my previous article)
Soy sauce
Butter
Salt and pepper

Instructions:

Saute the bacon in a little olive oil.
Add the carrots in the pan and cook until tender.
Add the turnips and leaves and flavor with the vegetable dashi.
Add the cooked pasta in the pan.
Flavor with some soy sauce and butter.
Add salt and pepper as desired.

That's it! Enjoy!
