Spaghetti with Bacon and Parmesan Brussels Sprouts

Clock

Ingredients

  • 12 oz spaghetti
  • 1 lb small Brussels sprouts, halved (quartered, if large)
  • 1 large clove garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • Pinch red pepper flakes
  • Kosher salt
  • Pepper
  • 3 strips bacon, cut into ½-inch pieces (about 1½ oz)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
  • 1 small lemon

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425°F. Cook pasta per package directions.
  2. Meanwhile, on a large baking sheet, toss Brussels sprouts and garlic with oil, red pepper flakes, and ¼ tsp each salt and pepper. Scatter bacon over the top and roast for 15 minutes.
  3. Increase temperature to broil. Sprinkle sprouts with ¼ cup Parmesan and toss to combine, then broil on the top rack until bacon is crisp and Brussels sprouts are golden brown and tender, 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. When pasta is done, reserve ¾ cup cooking liquid, drain pasta, and return to pot. Finely grate lemon zest onto pasta, then squeeze in juice and toss to coat. Toss with remaining ¼ cup Parmesan, adding some reserved cooking liquid if pasta seems dry.
  5. Serve Brussels sprout mixture on spaghetti with additional Parmesan, if desired.
