20 Minute Brussels Sprouts and Pasta

This is an easy 20-minute brussels sprouts pasta meal from start to finish. Chop up brussels sprouts and cook them with rigatoni in a pot of water. While they’re cooking, make the cream sauce made with butter, minced garlic, chicken broth, milk and Parmesan cheese.

Pour the cheese sauce on top of pasta and brussels sprouts and dinner is ready! Don’t you love how easy that was?

Can I use a different pasta?

Sure, use any type of pasta you have on hand. Rigatoni, spaghetti, rotini, large shells and bow ties are all great for this recipe.

Can I use frozen brussels sprouts?

Yes, you can either use fresh or frozen brussels sprouts for this recipe. Cook them both the same way, but add less time for frozen brussels sprouts – about 5 minutes boiling with the pasta.

How to Make Brussel Sprouts and Pasta

Cook rigatoni pasta and brussels sprouts together in a large pot. Drain and place them back into the pot.

Make the cream sauce by first melting butter with garlic. Once meted, add flour and whisk until no clumps are remaining. Add in chicken broth and milk and continue to stir until the sauce thickens.

Add in Parmesan cheese and seasonings and stir until cream sauce forms.

Pour cream sauce over rigatoni and brussels sprouts in the pot, stirring so the sauce coats everything.

Serve and enjoy brussel sprouts and pasta!

How to store leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Eat within 2-3 days. Heat up in the microwave or in a small pot on the stove, stirring often to prevent sticking. If heating up on the stovetop I like to add a splash of chicken broth to freshen up the pasta.
