ingredients
- 450 gram Brussels sprouts, halved
- 1/2 tablespoon oil
- 375 gram dried tagliatelle
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 300 millilitre cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated, plus extra, to serve (optional)
- salt and pepper
- chopped parsley, to serve (optional)
method
- 1
Preheat oven to 200°C. Toss prepared sprouts in oil and arrange on a baking tray. Roast for 12-15 minutes, turning once or twice, until lightly coloured and tender.
- 2
Cook pasta according to the pack directions, reserving ¼ cup of the water.
- 3
Melt butter in a saucepan, add the cream and simmer gently until thickened. Remove from the heat and add the grated parmesan, sprinkling it in a bit at time and mixing well to prevent it clumping. Season with salt and pepper.

Stir half the sprouts into the sauce and mix. Add the cooked tagliatelle, with a splash of pasta water, if needed. Scatter in the remaining sprouts. Top with extra parmesan and parsley, if desired.
notes
- Alfredo sauce is a great base recipe; you could add chopped fresh herbs to the finished sauce or top with diced crispy bacon. Use other pasta shapes, if you prefer. PER SERVE Energy 735kcal, 3079kj • Protein 19.9g • Total Fat 49g • Saturated Fat 28g • Carbohydrate 49g • Fibre 8.1g • Sodium 366mg
