1 1/2 lbs. fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved (keep small ones whole)
1 box (1 lb.) cavatelli pasta
1 pkg. (8 oz.) bacon, chopped
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Heat a large pot of salted water to boiling. Add Brussels sprouts and cook 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl.
Add pasta to boiling water and cook 8 minutes, according to package directions. Reserve 3/4 cup of the pasta water; drain pasta and return to pot.
While the pasta cooks, heat bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Cook 8 minutes or until it begins to crisp. Push bacon to side of pan and tilt pan. Carefully spoon out 2 Tbsp. pan drippings and discard.
Reduce heat to medium and add onion and olive oil to skillet. Cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add Brussels sprouts to skillet and cook 3 minutes to brown slightly. Stir in pasta water and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Add to cooked pasta and gently toss to coat pasta with sauce. Serve warm with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
