Brussels sprouts are so often relegated to a side dish or appetizer. Today our crunchy, cruciferous friends are the star of the show in this easy, cheesy pasta recipe!

Al dente pasta with hearty chunks of Italian sausage and nutritious Brussels sprouts is served in a dreamy, creamy parmesan sauce with garlic and a hint of lemon.

All of the ingredients are cooked in the same pan (except for the pasta, boiled separately), which makes this a quick, simple meal with 4 to 5 servings, in about 25 minutes. I like to buy bagged, shredded Brussels sprouts from the store to save a few extra minutes during prep.

To really wow your family or guests, garnish this pasta with pepper, fresh parmesan — and if you can handle spice — red pepper flakes.
