Ingredients

10 oz penne pasta
1 lb Brussels sprouts halved (quartered if large)
1 clove garlic thinly sliced
1 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
Pinch Red pepper flakes
1/3 cup chicken broth
2 tbsp butter
3 strips bacon cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup grated Parmesan plus more for serving
1/2 lemon
1/4 loaf Italian bread sliced

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F.
Cook penne pasta per package directions in boiling salted water.
Meanwhile, on a large baking sheet, toss Brussels sprouts and garlic with oil, red pepper flakes, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Scatter bacon over the top and roast for 15 minutes. Sprinkle sprouts with 1/4 cup Parmesan and toss to combine, then broil on the top rack until bacon is crisp and Brussels sprouts are golden brown and tender, 1 to 2 minutes.
When pasta is done, drain pasta, and return to pot. Finely grate lemon zest onto pasta, then squeeze in juice and toss to coat. Toss with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan, broth and butter. Serve Brussels sprout mixture on spaghetti with additional Parmesan, if desired.
