Much to the disappointment of my mother, I never liked Brussels sprouts as a kid. It wasn’t until I tried them roasted with plenty of garlic and lemon that I truly fell in love with this peculiar vegetable.
This pasta is healthy and simple while also being deeply satisfying and hearty. If you must have meat with it, add pieces of grilled chicken breast or sausage (though I don’t think it needs it).
BrokeAss Hint: Save the little cups or packets of red pepper flakes whenever you order pizza and use them in recipes like this one.
