Feeds 2-3 People | 5 Minutes of prep time | 15-20 minutes of cooking time

Here's the stuff you need:

• One Lazy Sausage and Funghi pouch 
• Brussel Sprouts- 5.3 oz or 150 grams, cut into quarters
• Bacon - 3 strips, julienned or cut into pieces (small-medium)
• 600 grams or 21 oz of water
• 30-40 grams or 1.5oz of parmesan or Pecorino cheese (grated)
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil - small drizzle

Let's get cookin'! Here's the step-by-step:

1. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil into a small pot and heat over medium-high heat.
2. Add bacon to the pot and cook until slightly caramelized.
3. Add Brussels sprouts to the pot and continue cooking until caramelized.
4. Remove half of the Brussels sprouts, bacon, and oil from the pot and set aside in a bowl. We will use this as garnish.
5. Pour water and a Sausage & Funghi Lazy pouch into the pot and mix well over high heat.
6. Cook and stir occasionally until the water is absorbed and the pasta has a creamy texture.
7. Add grated Parmigiano and/or Pecorino to taste.
8. Add the reserved Brussels sprouts and bacon to garnish.
9. Let the pasta rest for a bit, and then enjoy!
