Pasta with brussels sprouts, guanciale bits, lemon and almonds
Pasta and macaroni
Italian cuisine
Preserved lemon rind and Brussels sprouts were made for each other. Tossed with pasta and topped with crunchy salted almonds, you can't help but feel virtuous when cooking up this healthy pasta dish. But I would feel a bit cheated if my Pasta with Brussels Sprouts didn't have little bits of chewy bacony guanciale tossed amongst the greens. My local butcher cures guanciale (pig cheeks) from pigs he procures from a farmer just a few valleys away. The peppery, fennel seeded pork gives Brussels sprouts just the right oomph.
