brussels sprouts pasta

A simple vegan pasta recipe, heavy on the cruciferous veggies, light on the pasta. Keep this vegan or add cheese (although it's really good without).

Garlicky Cruciferous Pasta

dry pasta (linguini, penne, spaghetti, angel hair)

olive oil

½ a medium onion, very thinly sliced

garlic,

salt

cracked pepper

¼ chili flakes

lemon

basil cheese

Feel free to add protein: seared shrimp, chicken, salmon

Place a pot of generously salted water to boil for pasta on the stove, and cook the pasta.

While the pasta is cooking, heat oil over medium heat in a large skillet

Add onion and smashed garlic and saute for 2 minutes, breaking up the whole garlic with a metal spatula, just a bit, letting the oil infuse with garlic flavor.

Add the whole mound of thinly sliced veggies. Let this cook without stirring for a few minutes, and it will begin to settle and lower in the pan, then just gently nudge it around, letting it continue to cook down about 5 more minutes. Add 3 tablespoons hot pasta water and 1/2 teaspoon salt Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

When pasta is done, drain ( save pasta water) and set aside until veggies are bright green and tender.

Stir in the pasta. Season with more salt, pepper and chili flakes. Add a splash of pasta water to loosen and make it saucy. If adding pecorino, add it now. Or keep it vegan ( with Vegan Cheesy Sprinkle).

Serve in bowls and garnish with lemon zest, a light drizzle of olive oil, fresh basil, and if you want, pine nuts.

This recipe has great flavours and received the "thumbs up" from my husband and Mr 15 and Miss 12! Winning!

I made this recipe and my wife was delighted. The combination of the cruciferous vegetables, the garlic, onion, the olive oil, cracked pepper, and red pepper flakes is incredible. There is an explosion of flavors in your mouth. I added more olive oil and David's kosher salt for a nice complementing salty texture. I matched the plate with fresh homemade focaccia alla Genovese.

Wasn't sure going into it, but I'm trying to eat 3 cups of cruciferous vegetables a day.  Got of all of them in at dinner AND IT WAS DELICIOUS!!!  This is going to be a regular meal at my house.

Oof, this is good. The veggies maintain an excellent crunch even as they saute down, and the pasta is a lovely little dopamine hit of carbs amongst the delicious veggie flavor. My only deviation I was to squeeze a a dash lemon, but I think I only needed it because the peel I zested was bland. Such a hearty yet refreshing dinner.

Desperately needs shrimp or another high quality protein.  Adding enough cheese to get there would be gross.

Vegan doesn't work if the primary focus isn't on enough protein.  Tofu would work too if you want to go that route but too much soy repetitively isn't going to work either.

This creamy Brussels Sprouts Pasta Carbonara is made with bacon and shredded Brussels sprouts. It only takes 15 minutes of prep work and makes a satisfying weeknight dinner!

Brussels Sprouts Pasta Carbonara

coarse kosher salt

dry spaghetti, linguine

Brussels sprouts, trimmed

Parmesan cheese

center-cut bacon, chopped (look for Certified Humane)

pepper,

Bring one gallon of water to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Once water comes to a boil, add salt and cook pasta according to package instructions to al dente.

Meanwhile, thinly slice the Brussels sprouts. You should have about 3 to 4 cups.

Stir egg and yolks together in a small bowl. Once fully mixed, whisk in the cheese. Set aside.

Set a medium heavy skillet over medium-high heat and cook bacon, stirring often, until browned and crispy, about 5 minutes. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning. Use a slotted spoon to transfer cooked bacon to a plate covered with clean paper towels.

Add Brussels sprouts to the skillet and sauté in the bacon fat until crisp tender, scraping the bottom to release any browned bits (fond) stuck to the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.

When the pasta is done, carefully remove 1 cup of pasta water. Drain pasta and return it to the pot. Off the heat, gradually stir in egg-cheese mixture, stirring constantly with tongs to cook eggs and coat noodles. Add pasta water as needed to thin.

Stir in the Brussels sprouts, bacon and pepper. Serve hot.

I love quick an easy recipes like this. The addition of bacon was delicious!

I grew up eating pasta carbonara, but I forgot how much I like that egg mixed in with the pasta and pork. Thanks for updating an old favorite. The Parm and Brussels are so perfect and yummy too with the pasta.

This looks AMAZING, I haven't made a carbonara in years and you have just inspired me to do so this weekend! Drooling!

Simple delicious nutritious flavorful. No cream so end results is not heavy and fattening 

Meal comes together quickly, and I like the added vegetable to the dish.  My son thought the flavor needed a little more depth, so I'll try adding some shallot or garlic next time.  I will say, when I added the salt to the boiling water, I had a huge reaction.  Maybe I added it too quickly, but the water boiled over everywhere.  I will stick to adding the salt before the water boils.  

With only a few ingredients and in a short amount of time I had a beautiful Monday night dinner. It was easy to prepare, although I did add some chopped scallion and garlic to grease before throwing in the brussels sprouts.  Another hit in my family. Your prep instructions are always helpful. I also love the recipes that are for 4 servings.

A savory &amp; delicious pasta full of garlicky, lemony, tahini sauce &amp; brussels sprouts!

Vegan Brussel Sprout Tahini Pasta

tahini

water

lemon (juiced (about 2 Tbsp))

salt (add more or less depending on preference)

pepper

oz dried pasta (cooked according to package instructions)

Tablespoons vegan butter (42 grams)

shallots (finely chopped)

garlic (minced)

brussels sprouts

white wine

salt & pepper

parsley (optional garnish)

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Then, strain and set aside for later.

While the pasta is cooking, make the tahini sauce and cook the veggies.. To make the tahini sauce, add all of the sauce ingredients including the tahini, water, lemon, salt, and pepper to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. While the sauce will be semi runny, it will thicken up as soon as you add it to the pasta later.

Next, add the vegan butter to a large sauce pan or skillet and heat until melted. Once the butter has melted, add in the shallots and garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes. Then, add in the shaved brussels sprouts and saute over medium heat another 8-10 minutes.

Once the brussels are cooked and beginning to crisp, add in the white wine, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and cook over medium heat another 2 minutes.

As a final step, add in the cooked pasta and tahini sauce and mix everything together over low heat an additional 2-3 minutes. If your sauce is too thick, add in extra water. If it is too thin, just heat it a little longer until it thickens.

Serve with a garnish of optional fresh parsley and a lemon wedge. Enjoy!
