Day 11 - Pappardelle with Sausages & Sprouts

This is a recipe I found on the Internet which I thought sounded delicious, though I heavily edited it. I found that there was no where near enough cream, it would have been extremely dry if I followed the recipe exactly. Also the recipe used more than double the pasta I used which would have been way to much for just the two of us! So here is my amended version of this recipe, it's a very tasty & filling dish and I look forward to making it again next year ;)

Pappardelle with Sausage & Sprouts
Serves: 2 People
Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Cooking Time: 15 - 20 Minutes
1-2 Sticks of Celery
1 Medium White Onion
1 Clove of Garlic
4-5 Rashers of Panchetta
6-8 Chipolata Sausages
250g of Brussel Sprouts
250ml of Double Cream
200g of Pappardelle Pasta
75g of Parmesan
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper

  • Firstly place a pan for the pasta onto a high heat & get some salted water up to the boil. Once it's up to boiling point add the pappardelle pasta and cook for about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile finely slice the celery, onion, garlic & panchetta and chop the sausages into thirds. Then fry these in a frying pan on a medium with a little oil for 4 minutes. Whilst they are frying, use a box grater to grate the brussel sprouts and then add to the frying pan, stirring well so that nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan.
  • When the brussels have been in for a couple of minutes turn the frying pan down to a low heat and add the double cream. Season well and let it simmer for approximately 5 or 6 minutes.
  • Once the pasta is done add to the brussel sprout sauce and combine together.
  • Serve with freshly grated parmasan and black pepper.
