Method
Step 1
Place a large frying pan on medium heat, add olive oil, Brussels sprouts, and chestnuts. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 10 minutes or until the sprouts have softened. Stir often. Add a splash of water if the pan begins to look dry.

Once softened, add cream, most of the nutmeg and cheese. Stir well, bring to a simmer, then turn off the heat. Check the seasoning.
Step 3
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions.

Add cooked pasta to the creamy sauce and sauté. Let rest for 1 minute before stirring again.
Step 5
Finish with a dusting of the remaining nutmeg and cheese.
Farfalle
Farfalle, dating back to the 1500s, originated in the Lombardia and Emilia-Romagna part of Northern Italy. Farfalle, which means “butterfly” in Italian, are rectangular or oval pieces of pasta that are pinched in the middle.
