Description

This Beef Bacon Brussels Sprouts Butternut Squash Pasta is a creamy delight that tantalizes the taste buds with its rich, savory flavors. The crispy beef bacon adds a smoky crunch, while the tender Brussels sprouts and sweet butternut squash create a delightful contrast in texture and taste.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Pasta: 12 oz fettuccine or your choice of pasta
  • Vegetables:
    • 1 cup Brussels sprouts, halved
    • 2 cups butternut squash, peeled and diced
  • Meat:
    • 6 oz beef bacon, chopped
  • Dairy:
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Seasonings:
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • 1 tsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped beef bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the Brussels sprouts and butternut squash to the skillet, cooking for an additional 8-10 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat in the creamy sauce. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • This dish can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
