OK, not everyone appreciates Brussels sprouts, but my lady likes them and they are interesting to use. This is a nice pasta dish that cooks up pretty easily.
1/2 lb of bacon
Brussels sprouts (enough to fill skillet once cut)
box of rotini
almonds
hard cheese, like Romano, grated
olive oil
In a good skillet, start frying the bacon. While this is going on, start the water for the pasta. Also rinse the sprouts, trim, cut in half. I didn't toast the almonds, but that would be good. Chop the almonds roughly.
Once the bacon is fried, put it aside to cool. Add the sprouts, cut-side down, to the skillet. Cover and cook on low heat for around 15 minutes until done. Drop the pasta and cook as directed. Read a book for 10 minutes. Set the table. Crumble the bacon.
Once the pasta is done, drain it and return it to the pot. Dump the sprouts over top and drizzle with oil. Mix. Add bacon and cheese. Mix a little more, but keep it mostly on top. Serve.
