6 servings
16 oz bow-tie pasta (or other smaller pasta)
1 pound bacon, diced
10 brussel sprouts, sliced thinly
1 cup green beans, cut in bite-size pieces
½ cup dry vermouth
2 garlic cloves, chopped
zest from ½ lemon
juice from 1 lemon
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper
Method:
Saute the bacon until crispy. Place the bacon on a plate covered with papertowel, discard about half of the fat. Saute the brussel sprouts and the green beans in the bacon fat until al-dente.
Cook the pasta in salted water. When the vegetables are almost cooked, de-glaze with dry vermouth and scrape the pan well to get all the bits. Add the bacon, the lemon juice and the zest. When the pasta is done, drain and add it to the pot. Stir well to combine and add Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper.
Serve immediately with some nice bread and a glass of wine.
