Creamy Orecchiette
with Brussels Sprouts, Bacon, and Mixed Mushrooms
Orecchiette (meaning “little ears” in Italian) is one of our favourite pasta shapes because of its ability to hold in delicious sauces. In this dish, pancetta, mixed mushrooms, and shredded Brussels sprouts are tossed into a light, creamy sauce flavoured with Parmesan, garlic, and woodsy herbs.
Produced in a facility that processes milk, sesame, eggs, fish, shellfish, crustaceans, mustard, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybean and sulphites.
