Fill a large stock pot with water and bring to a boil.

While the parsnips are boiling, heat a large skillet
on medium heat. Add olive oil and onion, cook for
4-5 minutes, continuously moving. Add garlic and
cook for another 2 minutes, then add beans and
coconut milk. At this point the parsnips will be
done. Drain the parsnips and add to the skillet with
the coconut sauce. Turn heat to low and let simmer.

everything to a blender and blend until smooth, if
the consistency is too thick, add water and taste
for salt. Take the creamy mixture and add it back to
the skillet.

medium skillet and drain on paper towel until ready
to garnish.
STEP 6
The boiling water is ready for pasta. Add your pasta
