3 roasted root pasta (aka salty pasta)

it gets salty. I'm just saying.
first i roasted some root vegetables.
I used
1 beet
1 parsnip
1 carrot
cut into about 1 inch chunks. i put them in bowl and coated them with about 1 tablespoon of oil, pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. After they were coated i put them on a baking sheet into a 425 degree oven.
after 8 minutes i turned everything over
after 8 more minutes I take the parsnip and carrot off the baking sheet and then I put the beet back in a baked until it was done. I think it took maybe 10 or 15 more minutes.
MEANWHILE
I cooked up about 5 strips of fake bacon until it was nothing but crisp. (stiff)
I did this by putting oil in my cast iron and putting bacon in until it was no longer soft. it couldn't move without cracking.
MEANWHILE
I sauted 1/2 on onion.
I cut up about 6 kalamata olives, about a jars worth of artichoke hearts, and about 8 sundried tomatoes (i just get a combo thing of them at the Mediterranean bar at kroger). I also cut up about 1 leaf of collards so I could have some leafy green. After the onions were cooked I added all this into the onion pan with about 1/4 cup grated parm. cheese. I added the roots.
I cooked brown rice spiral noodles.
