How about an alternative way to cook and eat the teeny tiny brussel sprouts, and the classic marrying of crispy bacon. We globally agree is a festive flavor sensation. Sprouts carry way more nutrients than cabbage, just add some nuts for protein and you have the perfect balanced pasta dish in a matter of minutes.
