A pretty tasty meatless pasta dish. While it is meatless it may not be the healthiest thing ever, but at least it has Brussels sprouts in it. I feel like that balances out all the heavy cream and cheese.
Even being pretty indulgent this dish is pretty darn good. It makes enough to feed quite a few or have leftovers. But I am going to guess this will go pretty quickly. Rich, creamy, cheesy with a hint of lemon zest, nutmeg and of course a little greenery.
The best time saving tip for this dish is to be pre-chopped sprouts at Trader Joes! They were the same price as the whole ones and I had to do was open the bag and toss them in the skillet. Doesn’t get much easier than that! I will see to grate your own cheese though, it tastes so much better than the prepackaged store brand.
