- Crisp the bacon: While the pasta cooks, sauté your bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until nice and crispy. Set aside on a paper towel and crumble once cooled.4-5 slices of bacon
- Cook the Brussels sprouts: In the same skillet (don’t clean it!), add the sliced Brussels right into that bacon grease. Sauté for about 6–8 minutes until softened and golden.1 pound brussels sprouts
