Cale and I were cafe hopping a bit today because it’s his day off and I don’t have school this week. I saw a recipe for brussels sprouts fettuccine in a some gourmet foodie mag and decided I wanted to make my own version of it for our dinner. IT WAS SO GOOD. I drastically altered the recipe as in the magazine- it’s originally very simple and I added a whole bunch of things. I basically sauteed garlic, red onion, chilli, brussels sprouts, with some borlotti beans and leftover chickpeas, added toasted pine nuts and walnuts, plus the obvious salt. When the pasta was cooked and drained, I put it back into the pot, added the mixture and tossed it all through with heapsa parmesan- could totally use nutritional yeast or soy cheese if you’ve got a good one. I added peas and crumbled some goats cheese into mine ‘cos Cale didn’t want any. He said it was “pretty good” but “maybe too hippy” and I thought it was amazing.
