CARAMELIZED BRUSSELS SPROUTS PASTA WITH TOASTED CHICKPEAS



Caramelized Brussels Sprouts Pasta With Toasted Chickpeas image

This fast and satisfying vegetarian weeknight pasta packs in a whole pound of brussels sprouts. The mountain of shredded sprouts may seem like a lot, but like spinach, it will cook down. As the sprouts soften, they caramelize and naturally sweeten, losing any hints of bitterness. Chickpeas are toasted in olive oil until deep golden brown, crispy in spots and super toasty. They bring a nutty, earthy flavor to the dish, complementing the tangy capers and lemony sauce. Leftovers are tasty enjoyed cold like pasta salad, added to a frittata, or sautéed in olive oil until golden and topped with a fried egg.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt and black pepper
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and patted dry
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 pound brussels sprouts, trimmed and very thinly sliced (about 5 tightly packed cups)
8 ounces dried tagliatelle pasta
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan (about 1 1/2 ounces), plus more for serving
2 tablespoons drained capers
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven or a large, deep skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium. Add chickpeas, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden and well toasted, about 5 minutes. Transfer the chickpeas to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Add the butter, garlic and 2 tablespoons of the oil to the Dutch oven and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add brussels sprouts, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions in the boiling water until al dente. Drain, reserving 2 cups of the pasta water.
  • Add the pasta, 1 cup reserved pasta water, about 3/4 of the toasted chickpeas and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the Dutch oven. Stir in the Parmesan, capers, lemon juice, red-pepper flakes and half the chives until well incorporated and saucy, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add more pasta water if a thinner sauce is desired.
  • Divide pasta among bowls. Top with remaining toasted chickpeas and chives. Garnish with more black pepper and Parmesan.

Tips:

  • Choose the right Brussels sprouts: Look for small, firm Brussels sprouts with tightly packed leaves. Avoid any that are yellowed or have blemishes.
  • Trim the Brussels sprouts properly: Cut off the stem end and any discolored leaves. If the Brussels sprouts are large, you can also halve or quarter them.
  • Caramelize the Brussels sprouts slowly: Don't rush the caramelization process. Cook the Brussels sprouts over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.
  • Use good quality pancetta: Pancetta adds a rich, salty flavor to the dish. Look for pancetta that is thinly sliced and has a good amount of fat.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the Brussels sprouts and pancetta, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Season to taste: Once the Brussels sprouts and pancetta are cooked, season them to taste with salt and pepper.

Conclusion:

Caramelized Brussels sprouts with pancetta is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. It is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The caramelized Brussels sprouts are sweet and slightly crispy, while the pancetta adds a salty, savory flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
