Ingredients

2 servings
  1. Orecchiette (or any variety) dried pasta
  2. 8brussels sprouts, washed trimmed and thinly sliced
  3. 2/3garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
  4. Good pinch coarse sea salt
  5. 25 gramsbutter

  7. Black pepper, freshly ground

Cooking Instructions

20 mins
  1. 1

    Cook pasta according to packet instructions for 2 people.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, melt the butter in a shallow pan over a medium heat. Add the sliced brussels sprouts, sliced garlic and sea salt. Slowly stir fry until the butter foams, caramelizes and turns to a golden brown color. As soon as it starts to smell nutty, it is ready.

  3. 3

    Drain the pasta, retaining a little of the cooking juices and tip into the pan with the sprouts. Take off the heat, grate in a good handful of Parmesan and mix well.

  4. 4

    Finish with a generous grind of black pepper and serve with some additional Parmesan on the side. Enjoy!

  5. 5

    Note: this is just as tasty with any pasta you may have in the pantry. See serving suggestion below with angel hair pasta.
