Today I’m sharing a yummy Italian favorite of mine!  I haven’t given you guys a good & simple pasta dish in a while- so here it is 🙂

My Spicy Garlic & Brussel Sprout Bucatini is al-dente, flavorful, and cheesy!  This pasta dish is actually very simple because the main ingredients are the main flavors.  Garlic is one of the highlights of this dish, but so is my favorite Cabot Cheese… Hot Habanero! If you guys haven’t tried it before, you need to purchase it for this recipe. It’s pretty spicy and has great flavor. And, you can save the rest of the block to eat with crackers!

I try to sneak in my greens every chance I get, and usually I LIVE for spinach in pasta. But this recipe tastes soooo good with brussel sprouts because you shave them or cut them so they are really small, so you only get little hints of them here and there. I’ve never been a fan of brussel sprouts, but when they are infused with garlic and cheese, we get along pretty well. If you like them more than me, ADD MORE!

Hope this recipe gets you in the kitchen, especially with this cold pasta weather. (Yupp: low temperatures = comfort food = pasta).  Can’t wait to hear what you guys think!
