Brussel Sprout and Bacon Pasta

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 30 mins | Serves: 2-4

1 pack of Brussels sprouts, sliced thinly
3 rashers of bacon or guanciale (or substitute with plant-based bacon for a vegan/vegetarian option) cut into cubes
A k**b of butter (or plant-based spread for a vegan option)
1 tbsp olive oil
Zest of ½ lemon
2 cloves of garlic
1 shallot, diced
50g Parmesan cheese, finely grated (or substitute with vegan cheese or omit)
25ml white wine (or substitute with fresh lemon juice for a non-alcoholic option)
3 sprigs of fresh thyme
300g pasta of your choice (Conchiglie shells recommended)
Salt and black pepper to taste

Pop a large pop of water on to boil.
To a cold pan add the butter and crushed garlic cloves, 1 tbsp olive oil, and shallots then turn to hob onto a medium heat and allow the butter to melt (about 5 mins)

Once your shallots turn translucent, add in your bacon and thyme and cook for a further 5 mins, then add in the wine or lemon juice and deglaze your pan, ensuring you scrape up all the sticky bits.

Pop your pasta into the pan with the boiling water and cook to packet instructions.

Add your sprouts to the pan with the bacon and cook for 6-8 minutes. Season with black pepper and the zest of half a lemon.

Once your pasta is done cooking reserve 30ml of the pasta water and add this into the pan with the brussel sprouts along with 25g of the cheese and mix well, then add your cooked pasta to the sprouts and bacon mix, and mix thoroughly. Season and serve.
