Fettuccine With Brussels Sprouts and Pine Nuts image

The natural nuttiness of Brussels sprouts is greatly enhanced by the addition of pine nuts, and sautéing the sprouts deepens that flavor. Tossing them with al dente fettuccine will make you wonder how anyone could dislike them.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed
1/2 pound dried egg fettuccine
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons pine nuts
Accompaniment: grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

  • Slice Brussels sprouts in a food processor fitted with slicing disk.
  • Cook fettuccine in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (3 tablespoons salt for 6 quarts water) until al dente.
  • Meanwhile, heat butter and oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat until foam subsides, then cook pine nuts, stirring, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add Brussels sprouts, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, then sauté over medium-high heat until tender and lightly browned, about 4 minutes.
  • Reserve 1/2 cup pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta and add to skillet, tossing with enough reserved water to moisten.

This dish is a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try it again with a lighter sauce.

I'm not a fan of fettuccine, so I used penne instead. It worked out great.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used sunflower seeds instead of pine nuts. It was still very good.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover Brussels sprouts. I always have a few leftover after Thanksgiving dinner.

I added some crumbled bacon to the dish and it was delicious. I think it would also be good with some grated Parmesan cheese.

I'm not a big fan of garlic, so I used less than the recipe called for. It still turned out great.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more salt and pepper, or maybe some additional herbs.

This dish was an absolute delight! The flavors of the Brussels sprouts, pine nuts, and garlic perfectly complemented the fettuccine. The crispy texture of the sprouts added a nice contrast to the soft pasta.
