Directions
This Brussels Sprouts Carbonara is a twist on the classic but with extra veggies. The shallot, garlic, and brussels sprouts are sauted with the pancetta. Then, the egg, cheese, and pasta water are slowly added to make a creamy carbonara sauce. If youd like to try my take on traditional carbonara, check out my Spaghetti Carbonara with a poached egg. And for more of my favorite super quick pasta dishes, try my Spaghetti with Sauted Chicken and Grape Tomatoes and Pasta with Roasted Broccoli with Garlic and Oil.,This Brussels Sprouts Carbonara was a hit in my house. It is so simple to make and tastes great! You can finely slice the sprouts or buy them pre-shredded or use the slicing disk on your food processor to save time. This carbonara recipe cooks quickly, so its perfect for a busy weeknight.,Yes, brussels sprouts are good for you. I. love cooking with them because they not only taste delicious but also have tons of health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in carbs and calories but high in fiber, which means they will keep you full longer. They are also rich in antioxidants, vitamins K and C, and folate.,Swap the fusilli for orecchiette, rotini, or penne.,Use gluten-free pasta instead of regular.,Sub bacon for pancetta.,Add grilled chicken for some extra protein.,To make a vegetarian carbonara, omit the pancetta and saut the vegetables in one tablespoon of olive oil.,Swap the brussels sprouts for chopped asparagus.,One Pot Spaghetti and Meat Sauce (Stove Top),Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meat Sauce,Summer Cavatelli with Corn, Tomatoes and Zucchini,Orecchiette Pasta with Chicken Sausage and Broccoli,Angel Hair Pasta with Zucchini and Tomatoes
