1 cup grated Pecorino Romano
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved and thinly sliced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 pound mushrooms, such as cremini, button or shiitake, cleaned and chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

BRUSSELS SPROUTS PASTA WITH BACON AND VINEGAR



Brussels Sprouts Pasta With Bacon and Vinegar image

This recipe is endlessly adaptable: You can use pancetta or even sliced salami in place of the bacon, and chopped cabbage or torn escarole work well if you don't have sprouts. No shallots? A small red onion will do. Keep in mind different types of bacon (or other cured pork) will render different amounts of fat. When you add the brussels sprouts, if the skillet starts to look a little dry, add a tablespoon of oil to keep things moving. To achieve a nice mix of crisp leaves and tender cores, tear off some of the loose outer leaves from your brussels sprouts; they will wilt and blister while the more tightly bundled cores will soften and steam. This recipe is designed for a half pound of pasta; though you may be tempted to add extra pasta, the dish will be plenty filling with a whole pound of brussels sprouts.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Kosher salt and black pepper
8 thin slices of bacon
8 ounces cavatappi or other short pasta
1 pound brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved and outer leaves separated
2 shallots, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
1/4 cup cider vinegar or red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons whole-grain or Dijon mustard
Shaved Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp, 5 to 8 minutes. Using tongs, transfer to a plate.
  • Drop pasta into the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining bacon drippings in the skillet over medium-high. Add brussels sprouts and shallots, season with salt and pepper and cook, tossing occasionally and adding olive oil if the skillet looks dry, until the sprouts are dark brown in spots and beginning to be close to tender, 3 or 4 minutes. Add vinegar and mustard and toss to combine, scraping the bottom of the pan.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer pasta to skillet, then stir in 1 cup pasta water. Cook, tossing often, until liquid reduces and coats the pasta, 2 to 3 minutes. Crumble bacon over top and serve with Parmesan.

PASTA WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND BACON



Pasta with Brussels Sprouts and Bacon image

Bits of crisp bacon offset tender rigatoni and brussels sprouts in this main dish. Sauteeing the sprouts before braising them adds flavor and helps preserve their texture.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 ounces bacon (about 7 slices), cut into 3/4-inch pieces
Up to 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, minced
4 large shallots, cut into thin rounds
1 1/4 pounds brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved (quartered if large)
1 1/4 cups homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
12 ounces rigatoni pasta
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh sage leaves, about 20 leaves

Steps:

  • Heat a dry large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon; cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Add enough oil to bacon fat in skillet to total 2 tablespoons. Add garlic, shallots, and sprouts; cook, stirring occasionally, until pale golden, about 3 minutes. Add stock; season with salt and pepper. Cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed and sprouts are tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil; add 1 tablespoon salt and the pasta. Cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid; return pasta to pot.
  • Stir in sprouts mixture, reserved 1/2 cup cooking liquid, and cheese. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil; add sage and bacon. Toss until combined. Serve with more cheese.

Tips:

  • For a crispier texture, roast the Brussels sprouts before spiralizing them.
  • Use a sharp knife or a mandoline to thinly slice the Brussels sprouts if you don't have a spiralizer.
  • For a more flavorful dish, use homemade pesto or a high-quality store-bought pesto.
  • If you don't have pine nuts, you can substitute walnuts or almonds.
  • Add some grated Parmesan cheese or crumbled goat cheese for extra flavor.
  • Serve the Brussels sprout spaghetti immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Brussels sprout spaghetti is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this cruciferous vegetable. It's a great alternative to traditional pasta and can be served with a variety of toppings and sauces. With its unique flavor and texture, Brussels sprout spaghetti is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
