Linguine with Brussel Sprouts Barigoule

This elegant linguine with Brussels sprout barigoule is a sophisticated way to enjoy seasonal greens. Inspired by the classic French 'à la barigoule' technique, the vegetables are gently simmered in a light, aromatic broth of white wine, lemon, and thyme. The Savoy cabbage becomes beautifully tender, while the quartered Brussels sprouts retain a delicate bite, creating a fresh and savoury sauce that coats every strand of pasta perfectly.

As a nutritious vegetarian main course, this dish is ideal for a midweek dinner or a relaxed weekend lunch. The combination of leafy greens and bright citrus notes makes it feel surprisingly light yet deeply comforting. Serve this homemade pasta in shallow bowls with plenty of the fragrant broth, a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, and a generous grating of salty parmesan for a truly restaurant-quality finish.
