Angel Hair With Olives and Brussels Sprouts

"Modified from "Isa Does It" by Isa Chandra Moskowitz's Olive Angel Hair with Seared Brussels Sprouts. It was SO yummy, but I used less oil and salt, added more Brussels sprouts and used marjoram instead of thyme. Three of us polished it off."

directions

  • For a one pot meal: First, toast the walnuts in the bottom of a large heavy pot over medium heat for about 5 minutes, tossing occasionally. Remove to a cutting board.
  • Add water to the pot for the pasta and bring to a boil. Before adding the pasta, steam the Brussels sprouts over the boiling water (put in a metal strainer on top of the pot and cover) for 3 minutes. Set aside the Brussels sprouts.
  • Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Rinse the pot. Turn up the heat to medium-high. Add 1 T olive oil and a pinch of the salt and saute the onion until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan. The Brussels sprouts should touch the bottom of the pan in order to be seared. Cook for about 5 minutes until sprouts are seared on at least one side.
  • Add garlic and other seasonings and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the olives, the remaining salt, 1/2 cup of the broth, and vinegar. Mix well. Add pasta and toss. Add more broth if needed. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed. Top with walnuts and serve.
