This dish is a combination of crispy bacon, tender Brussels sprouts, and al dente pasta, all tossed together in a creamy sauce.

To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

To start, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, add the Brussels sprouts and cook until they are tender and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Once the Brussels sprouts are cooked, add the heavy cream to the skillet and bring it to a simmer. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until it is melted and the sauce is smooth. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce and toss everything together until the pasta is coated in the sauce. Add the cooked bacon to the skillet and toss again.
Serve the Bacon and Brussels Sprout Pasta hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley if desired.
This dish is a perfect combination of salty and savory flavors, with the crispy bacon and tender Brussels sprouts adding texture and depth to the creamy pasta sauce. It is a great dish for a cozy night in or for entertaining guests.
