Bowties & Brussels Sprouts


Brussels sprouts generally don't get the most positive reviews but this recipe just might change your mind! This is a light but tasty dish that could serve as a main course or side dish. This recipe makes about 4 side servings. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
About 1/3 pound brussels sprouts, trimmed & halved or quartered
** Fresh is great but sometimes hard to find. You can use frozen, just let them thaw out 1st.
1 T EVOO
Salt & pepper
1/2 pound bowtie pasta
1 T butter
About 1/3 C honey roasted almonds, finely chopped
2 oz crumbled feta cheese

1. Preheat the oven to 400°. On a baking sheet, toss the brussels sprouts with the olive oil then season with salt & pepper. Roast, tossing occasionally, until browned, about 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/4 C of the cooking water.
3. Return the pasta & reserved water to the pot. Stir in the butter, brussels sprouts & almonds. Dish up & top with feta.
