Pasta with caramelized shallots and brussels sprouts and speck

Pasta and macaroni Italian cuisine
recipe

I'm a big believer in both Brussels sprouts and comfort food. <br />Not only are Brussels sprouts delicious, but also they're packed full of Vitamins C and K, and some of the phytochemicals they contain are hoped to have anticancer benefits. <br />I have also found B. sprouts to be a versatile ingredient: they're always lovely in roasted form; I love them fried with lemon and oil and then tossed with capers and pecorino; and I am seriously grooving on this homey pasta dish in which they, along with caramelized shallots (shallots boast their own array of vitamins/minerals/anti-oxidants), concentrate in flavor and soften just enough to provide a slight textural contrast to the pasta. Meanwhile, the sherry offers a touch of sweetness that perfectly matches the savoriness of the veggies and the speck. The dish is subtle yet each bite suffuses your mouth with flavor. Sublime! <br />Any long pasta will work for this wonderful dish, so if you can’t find bucatini, feel free to substitute mafaldine, spaghetti, matriciani or the like. <br />**One of my photos shows the bucatini and the other the mafaldine.
