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.

Provided by Dawn Perry

Categories     dinner, easy, weeknight, pastas, vegetables, main course

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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh Brussels sprouts: Look for sprouts that are firm and brightly colored, with no signs of wilting or bruising.
  • Trim the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the stem end of each sprout and remove any discolored or damaged outer leaves.
  • Halve the Brussels sprouts: For smaller, more tender sprouts, halve them lengthwise. For larger sprouts, quarter them.
  • Roast the Brussels sprouts: Toss the sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them in a hot oven until they are tender and slightly browned.
  • Make the bacon vinaigrette: While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, cook the bacon until crispy. Then, whisk together the bacon fat, vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Toss the Brussels sprouts with the vinaigrette: Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, toss them with the vinaigrette while they are still warm.
  • Serve immediately: Roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon vinaigrette are best served immediately, while they are still warm and crispy.

Conclusion:

Roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon vinaigrette is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The roasted sprouts are tender and slightly caramelized, and the bacon vinaigrette adds a savory and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
