Orecchiette Carbonara with Charred Brussels Sprouts

Ingredients for Orecchiette Carbonara with Charred Brussels Sprouts

• 2 cuillères à soupe d'huile d'olive, divisées

• 230g Brussels sprouts, trimmed, leaves separated

• 350g fresh orecchiette or other fresh or dried small pasta

• Sel kasher

• 60g guanciale (salt-cured pork jowl) or pancetta (Italian bacon), finely chopped (about 40g )

• 1/2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper

• 60g (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces

• 50g grated Pecorino plus more

• 2 large egg yolks, beaten to blend

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high heat. Working in batches, add Brussels sprout leaves and cook, tossing occasionally, until charred in spots and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes; transfer to a plate and set aside. Wipe out skillet.

Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente (about 5 minutes for fresh pasta). Drain, reserving 240ml pasta cooking liquid.

Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in same skillet over medium heat. Add guanciale and cook, stirring often, until slightly crisp, about 4 minutes. Add pepper and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Immediately add 120ml pasta cooking liquid to keep pasta from burning; reduce heat to low and gradually add butter, swirling skillet and adding more pasta cooking liquid as needed, until a thick, glossy sauce forms. (Taste as you go and switch to hot water once sauce is adequately seasoned.)

Add pasta to skillet and toss to coat. Add Pecorino; toss to combine. Remove from heat; mix in egg yolks. Add reserved Brussels sprout leaves; toss, adding pasta cooking liquid (or hot water) as needed to thin sauce.

Serve pasta topped with more Pecorino.
