FETTUCCINE WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS, LEMON AND RICOTTA
Brussels sprouts love a whisper of lemon, which is what the zest provides in this combo. The ricotta becomes creamy when you add a small amount of cooking water from the pasta to it, but you have to serve this right away or the ricotta will stiffen up again. I used gluten free Le Veneziane fettuccine made with cornmeal, and thought the color and texture were very good. It only took 5 to 6 minutes to cook. It works equally well with standard pasta.

Steps:
- Begin heating water for pasta.
- Trim bottoms of Brussels sprouts and quarter lengthwise or slice. Heat oil over high heat in a large, heavy skillet and add Brussels sprouts. Sear for about a minute without stirring, then turn the heat to medium-high, add salt and pepper to taste and stir or toss in the pan until tender and the edges are seared light brown, about 5 minutes. Some of the leaves will detach and get black, but don't worry, you can discard them. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl or plate.
- When water comes to a boil, salt generously and add pasta. While pasta is cooking, mix together ricotta, garlic, lemon zest and chives (or parsley and chives) in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- When pasta is cooked al dente (see timing instructions on package but check a minute before indicated time), remove 1/4 cup of the pasta water. Mix 2 to 4 tablespoons with ricotta. It should have the consistency of cream. Add a little more water if it doesn't. Drain the pasta and toss with Brussels sprouts, ricotta mixture and Parmesan. If pasta seems dry, toss with a little more of the cooking water or another tablespoon of olive oil. Serve at once.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS PASTA WITH BACON AND VINEGAR
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.

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.
FETTUCCINE WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS LEAVES, BROWN BUTTER, AND TOASTED WALNUTS
Plain sprouts can seem a little ascetic; the addition of brown butter brings them into their own as a topping for fettuccine. To remove individual brussels sprouts leaves, cut the stem out of each sprout and gently ease apart all the leaves.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente according to the package directions, then reserve 2 cups of the pasta water and drain.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, scatter in the mushrooms.

Add the oat milk and remaining 1 tablespoon oil, bring to a simmer and stir to combine. Toss to coat the pasta with the sauce, adding the remaining pasta water, as needed, if it seems dry. (You may not need all of the pasta water.) Serve with torn basil.

Steps:
- In a large kettle cook the onions in 3 tablespoons of the butter over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until they are golden. Add the garlic, the Brussels sprouts, the water, the scallion, the bell peppers, and salt and pepper to taste and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
- While the vegetables are cooking, in another large kettle cook the fettuccine in boiling salted water for 10 to 12 minutes, or until it is al dente, and drain it well. Stir the pasta into the vegetables and keep the mixture warm. In a small skillet cook the remaining 5 tablespoons butter over moderate heat, swirling the skillet, until it is browned, add it to the pasta mixture with the Parmesan and salt and pepper to taste, and toss the mixture well.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for Brussels sprouts that are firm and bright green, and fettuccine that is made with high-quality durum wheat.
- Don't overcook the Brussels sprouts. They should be tender but still have a slight crunch. Cook them for about 5 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender.
- Use a flavorful sauce. A simple sauce made with olive oil, garlic, and Parmesan cheese is a great option. You can also add other ingredients to your sauce, such as bacon, mushrooms, or cream.
- Serve the dish immediately. Fettuccine with Brussels sprouts is best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, cook the pasta and Brussels sprouts separately and then reheat them together just before serving.
Conclusion:
Fettuccine with Brussels sprouts is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. With its combination of flavors and textures, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
