7. Brussel Sprout Carbonara

Stuck with a tonne of sprouts?

Slice them up and use them in this pasta dish with some bacon.

This Brussels sprout carbonara is one of my new favourite dishes, but I only discovered it because I had some sad sprouts leftover from Christmas lurking at the back of my fridge that were starting to make me feel guilty. Instead of just being boiled as usual, the sprouts in this are shredded & tossed with the bacon bits over a high heat to caramelise & char slightly, meaning that they add heaps of great, almost mustardy flavour to the classic creamy base of the carbonara. A little fennel seed & a shake of dried chilli flakes take the flavour to a whole extra level of deliciousness. Trust me on this. You'll like these sprouts. Start a pan of salted water at a rolling boil. Cook the spaghetti. Meanwhile, dice 3 slices of smoked bacon and fry in a little olive oil over a medium heat. Prepare the sprouts by trimming off the outer leaves and shredding. Once the bacon is golden, add the sprouts and turn up the heat, tossing frequently until the sprouts are lightly caramelised at their edges. Season. Add 2tsp fennel seed, 1/2tsp dried chilli seed & 1 clove of diced garlic, stir and take off the heat. Beat 3 egg yolks in a small bowl with a generous grating of Parmesan, a dash of cream, 1 tbsp Greek yoghurt & lots of black pepper. Drain the spaghetti & stir in the egg mixture off the heat along with a splash of boiling water. Add the Brussels sprouts & bacon, stir, and serve with more Parmesan on top. #brusselssprouts #carbonara #christmasleftovers #ofm #foodandwine #f52grams #basuperfoodies
