BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Trim the bottom end of the Brussels sprouts, leaving the core intact, and pull off the outer dark leaves. Halve through the core. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook, uncovered, until tender, about 6 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold running water. (This can be done a day ahead.)
• Meanwhile, put the oil and bacon in a very large skillet or stewpot, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the Brussels sprouts and cook, stirring occasionally, until they brown and the edges get crisp, about 10 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, salt, pepper, and bacon. Serve warm.

Reserve the bacon fat in the pan. Just before serving, reheat the bacon fat until hot and add the brussels sprouts to the pan. Saute until crisp-tender and bright green, about 3-5 minutes. Add the bacon, hazelnuts, salt, and pepper, and stir. Taste and adjust seasonings, and serve. To toast hazelnuts: bake at 375 for 15 minutes or cook in a skillet over medium heat for 10 minutes or until skins crack. Cool and rub with a kitchen towel or paper towel to remove skins.

• Drop pasta into the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining bacon drippings in the skillet over medium-high. Add brussels sprouts and shallots, season with salt and pepper and cook, tossing occasionally and adding olive oil if the skillet looks dry, until the sprouts are dark brown in spots and beginning to be close to tender, 3 or 4 minutes. Add vinegar and mustard and toss to combine, scraping the bottom of the pan.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer pasta to skillet, then stir in 1 cup pasta water. Cook, tossing often, until liquid reduces and coats the pasta, 2 to 3 minutes. Crumble bacon over top and serve with Parmesan.
