mmmm, yum.
And if you are worried for the boys that I am making them eat all to healthy, don't be.
I made us brownies for dessert.
If you are interested, here is how I do the b-sprouts and simple pasta.
I chopped the brussel sprouts to make little discs or put them into the food processor to shred them (this is a good way to 'hide' what they really are).
Heat a bit of butter, garlic and sliced prosciutto (let the ham get a bit crispy) in the pan and then tossed the brussels in to saute.
I get them soft but not to the point of loosing that pretty green or all of their crunch. If I have lemon, I squeeze that in on top to cut the 'bitterness' that this veg can have. Last night I didn't have any so I threw a splash of white wine in there to de-glaze the pan. Salt and pepper to taste.
The pasta was a very simple version of Smitten Kitchen's spaghetti cacio e pepe. Which sounds entirely more fancy than it is, but oh so good.
Those brownies, um yeah, boxed Duncan Hines. (what?)
Love the new header!
ReplyDeleteI am craving veggies since I've been eating horribly due to all the sickness and crazy busyness. Pasta's a good idea.
we love brussels sprouts! yum!
ReplyDeleteChristian bought some brussel sprouts the other day and I was looking for a recipe to cook them. Thanks for the great idea!
