Ingredients

> 1 lb parsnips
> 1 shallot
> 2 tbsp butter
> 1 cup low fat milk
> 1 bay leaf
> 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp grated Pecorino Romano cheese
> 3 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps

1
Peel the parsnips and cut into 2-inch pieces. Dice the shallot. Place parsnips, diced shallot, and butter in a pot with milk and bay leaf, and simmer for about 15 min., or until soft. Add ¼ cup cheese and simmer an additional 5 min. to reduce liquid slightly. While parsnips cook, strip the leaves from the thyme sprigs and set aside.
2
Remove bay leaf and purée mixture using an immersion blender or food processor. Season with salt and pepper.
3
Sprinkle the parsnip purée with the remaining 2 tbsp cheese and thyme leaves.
