This colorful pasta dish brings rustic comfort and vibrant freshness to the table. With sautéed Brussels sprouts, sweet cherry tomatoes, and creamy ricotta-Parmesan sauce, it’s a weeknight favorite that feels like something you’d serve guests.
The best part? It pairs just as beautifully with a glass of oaky Chardonnay as it does with a bold Cabernet-Merlot blend. Serve it up warm, finish with extra Parmesan, and enjoy the balance of richness, acidity, and just a touch of heat from sweet red pepper.
Ingredients:
5 cups Brussels sprouts, quartered
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 mini sweet red pepper, chopped
12 sweet cherry tomatoes, halved
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 heaping tablespoon ricotta cheese
1 heaping tablespoon Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon Badia Complete Seasoning
Salt & pepper to taste
