Brussels-sprout carbonara

Cook some linguini as per the instructions on the packet and, while it’s boiling away, toss some quartered Brussels sprouts in olive oil with some lardons of bacon in a large frying pan and cook for a few minutes before adding a splash of cream. Add the pasta, stir well, then add generous amounts of grated Parmesan. Taste for seasoning, divide the carbonara between bowls, then top with a final grating of Parmesan, a little lemon zest and black pepper. Delicious!
