Author's notes

Don’t forget to reserve some pasta water before draining – the starchy water helps loosen the creamy sauce and makes it beautifully glossy.

Method

Hide images
step 1
Add the pasta (320 g) to a large pan of boiling water and cook for 13-15 minutes, according to pack instructions. Reserve around 200ml pasta water before draining.
step 2
Meanwhile, fry the pancetta (1 pack) in a large frying pan for 2-3 minutes until golden and crisp. Add maple syrup (1 tbsp) in the final minute, tossing until the pancetta is glossy and sticky. Remove from the pan and set aside.
step 3
Add 20g of the butter (35 g) to the pancetta pan, followed by the shredded Brussels sprouts (250 g). Fry for around 5-7 minutes, until softened and beginning to caramelise.
step 4
In a separate frying pan, melt the remaining 15g of butter. Add the breadcrumbs (40 g) and fry until golden and crunchy.
step 5
Add the cream (200 ml), nutmeg (1/4 tsp) and most of the parmesan (60 g) to the sprouts. Stir over a low heat, adding a splash of pasta water to loosen. Season with salt and pepper.
step 6
Tip in the drained pasta and maple pancetta. Toss until everything is coated in the creamy sauce, adding more pasta water if needed. Add the lemon juice (1 tbsp) and plenty of black pepper.
step 7
Serve topped with the garlicky breadcrumbs and extra parmesan, if you like.
