Instructions
- Cook fettuccine to al dente in a large pot of heavily salted water (usually a minute or two BEFORE the package says so). While pasta cooks, make the carbonara sauce.
- Thinly slice the green parts of the sprouts, and discard the stems.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the pancetta for 3-4 minutes, until crispy. Add the Brussels sprouts and continue cooking for just a few minutes, until the sprouts have turned bright green and have softened a bit.
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, beat the eggs well. Add 1/2 cup of the cheese.
- When the pasta is just al dente, remove from the pot with tongs and add directly into the skillet with the sprouts. *It's ok if a little of the pasta water gets in there too, it will help make the sauce creamy.
- Toss the pasta with the brussels sprouts and pancetta to combine, and then with the egg mixture, and the reserved 1/2 cup of cheese, making sure to get everything evenly coated. The eggs will cook as you toss the pasta over the heat. Serve asap with fresh parsley and lots of fresh cracked black pepper.
