Even if you hate brussels sprouts, I think you’ll like this.
INGREDIENTS
- 6 ounces bacon, sliced widthwise
- 10 whole brussels sprouts, sliced thin
- 6 ounces pasta - your choice but Iike “Casarecce” for this one
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese
- Kosher salt & fresh ground pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
DIRECTIONS
- Heat a large frying pan, add bacon - cook until just the edge of crispy, take bacon out and drain on paper towels
- Leave about 1 ½ tablespoons of grease in the pan discarding the rest and add brussel sprouts - cook about 6-7 minutes
- While it cooks, bring large pot of water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions
- Add the bacon back in the brussel sprouts pan - then add garlic until fragrant and mix
- When the pasta is ready, drain (keeping about a cup of the water) and add pasta to bacon and brussels sprouts mixture with parmesan
- Stir to combine well and if it's too thick, add pasta water about a 1/4 cup at a time until it's where you like it
- Season with salt & pepper
- Add red pepper flakes - top with a little more parmesan and serve
