Orecchiette With Brussels Sprouts and Bratwurst image

This zesty pasta is a playful riff on choucroute garnie, the classic Alsatian dish. The usual suspects (pork and cabbage) show up in the form of bratwurst, brussels sprouts and sauerkraut. Instead of potatoes, pasta joins the party and everything comes together in a tangy sauce of Parmesan, sour cream and fresh dill. Buy sauerkraut that looks fresh and crunchy for best flavor and texture. For a more kid-friendly meal, swap in shell pasta. If you happen to find yourself with leftovers, they make a tasty cold pasta salad.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 ounces fully cooked bratwurst (about 4 links), sliced 1/2-inch thick (see tip)
1 cup thinly sliced onion
12 ounces brussels sprouts, quartered if large or halved if small (about 3 cups)
8 ounces drained sauerkraut, coarsely chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Salt and pepper
1 pound orecchiette
1/2 cup grated Parmesan (2 ounces), more for serving
1/2 cup sour cream (4 ounces)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, parsley or chives

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the bratwurst and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the brussels sprouts, sauerkraut and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the brussels sprouts are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Reserve 1 1/2 cups pasta cooking water and drain the pasta. Return the pasta and reserved cooking water to the pot over low heat. Add the sausage mixture, Parmesan, sour cream and dill and stir until slightly thickened and saucy, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with more Parmesan, if desired.

I'm allergic to Brussels sprouts, so I substituted broccoli in this recipe. It turned out great! The broccoli was roasted to perfection and the dish was still very flavorful.

I'm not a big fan of Brussels sprouts, but they were surprisingly good in this dish. I think the roasting process really brought out their sweetness.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover bratwurst. I also love that it's a one-pot meal, so there's less cleanup involved.

The orecchiette was cooked perfectly and the Brussels sprouts were roasted to perfection. The bratwurst was a bit greasy for my taste, but overall this dish was a winner!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but this dish turned out really salty. I think I might have added too much salt when I was seasoning the bratwurst.

This dish was a total flop! The orecchiette was overcooked and the Brussels sprouts were mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it didn't really wow me either. I might try it again with some different ingredients.

This recipe was a bit too rich for my taste. The bratwurst was especially greasy. I think I'll try it again with a leaner sausage next time.

I thought the flavors in this dish were a bit bland. I ended up adding some extra salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

This dish was easy to make and so flavorful. I added a bit of extra garlic and red pepper flakes for some extra heat. Will definitely be making this again!

Just tried this recipe last night and it was a hit! The combination of orecchiette, Brussels sprouts, and bratwurst was something I'd never had before, but it worked so well together. Definitely going to be making this again.
