Best Hearty Whole Wheat Pasta With Brussels Sprouts Cheese And Potato Recipes
PENNE WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS, CHILE AND PANCETTA
Pasta and sliced brussels sprouts make a good pair, the softened green shreds commingling with the chewy noodles in the sauce. Here that sauce is a simple one with big flavors: pancetta, rosemary, garlic and chile. The raw brussels are then added to the pan. A splash of lemon juice at the end is a bright touch. Within 30 minutes, dinner is ready. Vary this recipe at will - use regular bacon instead of pancetta, or skip the meat altogether and use extra cheese to make a satisfying vegetarian main course. Use a knife or a food processor (fitted with the slicing blade) to cut the brussels. A mandoline works too but isn't necessary, because the brussels don't need to be paper thin, or uniform in size. These are unfussy slices you can do by hand.

Steps:
- Bring large pot heavily salted water to a boil. Add the penne and cook until pasta is just al dente (do not overcook).
- Meanwhile, heat large sauté pan over high heat and add the olive oil. When oil is hot, add the pancetta and rosemary, and sauté until the fat on the pancetta starts to turn translucent and very lightly brown, about 1 minute. Add the garlic, chile and freshly ground black pepper to taste, and sauté until garlic and pancetta turn richly brown, about 3 minutes. Add the brussels sprouts, a large pinch of salt and a splash of water to pan, and sauté until sprouts just start to soften, about 2 minutes. Spread sprouts mixture in pan and press down to flatten. Let it sear for a minute, then stir it up and repeat. This helps brown the sprouts. Add the butter, and sauté for another minute.
- Drain penne and add it to pan with brussels sprouts mixture. Cook, tossing, until everything is well mixed. Spoon into pasta bowls and top with a drizzle of oil and lemon juice, and a little cheese if you like.

HEARTY WHOLE-WHEAT PASTA WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS, CHEESE AND POTATO
This easy recipe is basically a macaroni and cheese with vegetables. It is a jumble of cuisines: British, with the brussels sprouts; Italian, the pasta with potatoes; and lavish, with its gooey mixture of ricotta, butter and Parmesan. It is also child-friendly and easy to cook on a weeknight.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt the water generously, then add brussels sprouts, potato and pasta, and let water come back to a boil. Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until potato is tender and pasta is al dente. Just before draining, remove 2 cups of the cooking liquid and set aside.
- Tip drained pasta, brussels sprouts and potato into an approximately 10-by-15-inch roasting pan (or a 9-by-13-inch lasagna dish), then add ricotta, Gruyère and 1 cup cooking water, and toss well. Add more liquid if you think the pasta is too dry.
- Warm butter, olive oil and garlic in a small saucepan and, when melted and beginning to sizzle gently, add sage and fry for about 30 seconds. Spoon or dribble the butter and sage over the pasta. Sprinkle with Parmesan and bake for 20 minutes, by which time the surface will be scorched a light gold. Let stand for at least 15 minutes before eating.
