How To Cook Pasta With Brussels Sprouts, Pancetta, Parmesan Cheese

Do you like Brussels sprouts? I like them now, but I didn’t like them that much in the past. When I just started cooking, I saw Brussels sprouts at a grocery store, and wanted to cook them. I don’t remember what recipe I used at that time, but what I do remember, is that the Brussels sprouts dish I made at that time was bitter and not tasty.

After that, I haven’t cooked with Brussels sprouts for a while. Then, I started seeing more and more people talking about Brussels sprouts and cooking Brussels sprouts. I still wasn’t convinced, but decided to give them another chance. I chose to try making something really simple, Roasted Brussels Sprouts. These were delicious, and not at all bitter.

After making these, I have made a lot of different roasted Brussels Sprouts recipes, including Roasted Brussel Sprouts With Pecans and Roasted Brussel Sprout Recipes With Bacon.

Since roasted Brussels Sprouts were great, I decided to try Brussels Sprouts in a different recipe. I have seen many pasta recipes that use Brussels sprouts, so I wanted to try cooking them with pasta. I choose to make something simple, with just a few ingredients, Pasta With Brussels Sprouts, Pancetta And Parmesan Cheese.

This recipe is another winner. Brussels Sprouts are delicious in this recipe, and pancetta adds a lot of flavor to this pasta recipe. Pancetta is cured meat that is similar to bacon. It has been cured, but not smoked.

To make this pasta dish, the first thing to do is to chop pancetta into small pieces, and cook it in a bit of olive oil, until it is ready. Next, take pancetta out of the saute pan. If you have a lot of oil and fat on the skillet, you can pour some out. If you don’t have enough, you can add a bit more olive oil to the saute pan. I didn’t have that much oil and fat left in the saute pan, so I had to add a bit more olive oil at this step.

Next, add minced onions to the saute pan and cook for a few minutes. Add Brussels Sprouts and cook until they are done. Here are the Brussels Sprouts:

Next, add cooked pasta and pancetta and mix everything together. Season this pasta dish with some salt and pepper. Serve this pasta dish with a bit of grated Parmesan cheese on top. Serve this pasta dish with a simple salad, such as a Simple Tomato Salad.
