Ingredients
- 1 pound baby Brussels Sprouts
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- salt and fresh pepper
- 12 oz of your favorite pasta
- 1 cup heavy cream
- the juice and zest of 1 lemon
- 1 cup freshly grated hard Italian cheese
- Parsley for Garnish
Instructions
- Trim just the very bottoms off the Brussels sprouts and leave them whole. You can halve them if yours are a little bigger. Saute them in the butter and olive oil for about 10 minutes over medium heat. Don't let them get too brown. They should be al dente.
- Cook your pasta to an al dente stage.
- Add the cream to the sprouts and heat to simmering. Simmer for a few minutes to let the cream reduce a bit and finish cooking the sprouts. You want to sprouts to retain some of their bite.
- Add the lemon and zest to the cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Slowly sprinkle in the cheese while stirring to melt and incorporate the cheese.
- Add in the cooked pasta and stir to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add some pasta water. If it is still very thin, add some more cheese.
- Serve with a garnish of parsley and lemon zest.
