While I am not a vegetarian, I don’t eat meat everyday. A lot of our dinner feature something other than meat and I like the balance of a little more vegetables in my life. A pasta packed with flavor from lemon, onions and brussels sprouts. Delicious brussels sprouts.
I really believe that people who say the don’t like brussels sprouts haven’t really had them prepared well. Roasted or sautéed they are incredible. Especially in this pasta inspired by Everyday Food.
This is a great Monday night meal, you only have to dirty a few dishes, the grocery list is short and it is really delicious.
