Orecchiette with Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Small ear-shaped pasta with roasted Brussels sprouts has everything I look for in a main dish: flavor, texture, and stick-to-the-ribs cream sauce. —Lily Julow, Lawrenceville, Georgia

This recipe is out of this world. I never knew how good Brussels Sprouts were! This recipe accentuated their natural flavor and added a few other things to bring pizazz to it! I will make this again and again. P.S. Brussels Sprouts are villainized and they should not be! They are so wonderful!
Great dish, followed the recipe exactly and really enjoyed it. I prepared it originally as a side dish and have plenty of leftovers, so I will likely add bacon and have again as a main dish. Thank you for sharing.
Just made this and the entire family (hubbie and 4 kids) loved it! I accidentally only bought 1 lb of brussel sprouts. So I added asparagus in its place! Made it soooo yummy! Thanks for a low cal yummy meal!
Made a brussel sprout convert out of me! Delicous way to fix this veggie. Add chicken for a one-dish meal.
Add bacon and it's perfect!
This was really good. Used fresh sprouts out of my garden, and added some cooked chicken, to make it a one dish meal. Needed some salt, but I thought it had lots of flavors going on.
Lacks Flavor!!
This was awesome. I thought it had tons of flavor..c'mon its Brussel Sprouts - they are full of flavor. The sauce is a perfect companion. My daughter, who normally is not a fan of the sprout, thought it was excellent. I would eat it as my main dish.
Based on the last review I added roasted bell peppers, prosciutto, lemon pepper, 3 c. Pasta water and its ok. The dish doesn't thrill me even after adding red pepper flakes.
<p>The roasted Brussels sprouts were tasty. However, the rest of the dish was very disappointing. The sauce was extremely lacking in flavor. I don't know how much of a difference the chicken broth versus white wine would make, but I used chicken broth. I was not impressed and will not make this again.</p>
