Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep the ingredients
Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil for the penne rigate.
- Peel and coarsely chop enough shallots to measure ¼ cup [½ cup].
- Trim the ends from the Brussels sprouts; thinly slice the sprouts.
- Set aside half the Parmesan for garnish.
- Working over 2 small bowls, crack 1 egg at a time and separate the white and yolk, carefully dropping the white into 1 bowl and the yolk into the other bowl. Save the whites for another use. [Separate all 4 eggs.] Lightly beat the egg yolks with a fork until blended. Stir in half the Parmesan.
- Using the bottom of a bowl or cup, lightly crush the hazelnuts for garnish.
2
Cook the penne rigate
To the pot of boiling water, add the penne rigate and cook until just tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain, reserving ½ cup [¾ cup] pasta cooking water. Return the penne to the pot; toss with 1 to 2 teaspoons oil to keep the noodles from sticking. While the penne is cooking, sauté the vegetables.
3
Cook the vegetables; finish the pasta
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the shallots, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the Brussels sprouts and the garlic-herb blend and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sprouts are lightly browned and tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the peas and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the penne and ¼ cup [⅓ cup] of the reserved pasta cooking water and cook, stirring, until piping hot, 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove from the heat, immediately add the egg yolks, and toss to coat. If dry, add the remaining pasta cooking water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to loosen the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the penne rigate and sauce to individual bowls. Sprinkle with the hazelnuts and remaining Parmesan and serve.
