This pasta is creamy without being heavy and filled with garlicky caramelised brussel sprouts. The crunchy toasted hazelnuts add texture and nutty flavour that works really well with those sprouts.
CHARRED BRUSSEL SPROUTS WITH MISO BUTTER, CHILLI AND GARLIC
I love brussel sprouts. Four words my 10 year old self would be horrified to hear me say. Luckily that scenario is not possible! Because I don’t live in a science fiction movie (unfortunately, damn you stupid reality)- not because the statement is untrue. Brussel sprouts are up there with my favourite vegetables. And they love butter and some heavy caramelisation. They are very good friends with those two things. Add some garlic and chilli and you have brussel sprout bliss. Top that with a liberal squeeze of zingy lime and some coriander and you’ll start converting brussel haters. And did I mention that the before mentioned butter has been mixed with miso paste? No, well that part is pretty essential….
