Fettuccine With Brussels Sprouts and Pine Nuts

This elegant fettuccine with Brussels sprouts and pine nuts offers a sophisticated take on vegetarian pasta. Shredding the sprouts into fine ribbons allows them to caramelise quickly in the pan, developing a sweet, nutty flavour that perfectly complements the rich egg pasta. The addition of toasted pine nuts provides a delicate crunch and a buttery finish to this simple yet satisfying dish.

Ideal for a quick weeknight dinner or a light weekend lunch, this recipe uses minimal ingredients to maximum effect. The combination of high-quality olive oil and Parmigiano-Reggiano creates a silky sauce that coats every strand of fettuccine. It is a wonderful way to enjoy seasonal greens in a comforting, homemade meal that feels special without requiring hours in the kitchen.

How to make Fettuccine With Brussels Sprouts and Pine Nuts

Slice Brussels sprouts in a food processor fitted with slicing disk.

Cook fettuccine in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (3 tablespoons salt for 5.7L water) until al dente.

Meanwhile, heat butter and oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat until foam subsides, then cook pine nuts, stirring, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add Brussels sprouts, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper, then sauté over medium-high heat until tender and lightly browned, about 4 minutes.

Reserve 120ml pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta and add to skillet, tossing with enough reserved water to moisten.
