Bacon, Brussels Sprouts, and Mushroom Linguine

I am always looking for new ways to use Brussels sprouts. People always claim they had Brussels sprouts once and hated them, but I have converted several people with this recipe. I think the bacon helps. For kids or people who claim to not like Brussels sprouts, try shredding them to tone down the flavor a bit.

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package linguine

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed

  • 1 pound bacon, cut into bite-size pieces

  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary

  • 1 ½ pounds crimini mushrooms, sliced

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 ½ pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and chopped

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water. Return pasta to the pot and toss with olive oil to coat.

  2. Place bacon in a large skillet and cook and stir until bacon begins to crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain and discard 1/2 the bacon fat, leaving bacon in the skillet; stir in rosemary.

  3. Stir mushrooms, salt, and black pepper into bacon mixture. Add Brussels sprouts; cook and stir until mushrooms and sprouts are heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour reserved pasta water into bacon mixture; add linguine and Parmesan cheese and toss vegetables with pasta until thoroughly mixed and heated through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
