- Get some pasta water boiling with lots of salt. Cook the bacon in a pan to crisp up. Meanwhile, drop the pasta and cook to al dente. Add the brussel sprouts and cook to lightly char on high heat. Add the pasta directly from the pot into the bacon fat and brussel sprout mixture and stir to combine. Add about a half cup of the pasta cooking liquid.
