In all honesty, I doubt he even knew he was eating brussels sprouts. Even those who don’t like b-sprouts will find it difficult to dislike this dish because of the bacon, pesto, and parmesan cheese.

- 4 cooked and diced bacon pieces
- 12 ounces of brussels sprouts 1 chopped or grated clove of garlic

- pesto, 3 tablespoons

- Sauté for an additional 30 seconds after adding the garlic.
- In the skillet, combine the pasta, pesto, lemon juice, and parmesan cheese with the chopped bacon. Combine everything by mixing it all together. Add more parmesan cheese to the top and season to taste.
