This Brussels sprouts pasta features roasted Brussels sprouts for a boost of flavor. The char of the sprouts is balanced by lemon juice for a bright, healthy pasta dish. If you can't find whole-wheat fusilli, regular fusilli is an easy substitution.

Ingredients

1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and sliced lengthwise
1 large Meyer or regular lemon, halved and seeded
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
12 ounces whole-wheat fusilli pasta
⅓ cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
Torn fresh basil leaves for serving

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine Brussels sprouts, lemon halves, salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons oil in a large bowl; toss to coat well. Spread in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast until the Brussels sprouts are charred in spots and the lemons have softened, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and transfer to a large bowl.
Add the Brussels sprouts to the pasta. Squeeze the juice of the lemons over the pasta mixture; transfer the lemons to a cutting board. Finely chop the peel, pith and fruit of the lemons.
Add the chopped lemon, cheese and the remaining 3 tablespoons oil to the pasta; stir to combine. Divide the pasta evenly among 6 bowls and top with fresh basil, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
