Alfredo Brussels Sprouts with Toasted Pine Nuts

I know a lot of people don't like Brussels sprouts, but I just don't' get it. I love them! Especially sauteed in some butter and drizzled with Alfredo sauce. Mmm! How could anyone not like that?? 

For this recipe you will need:

• 1 oz. PINE NUTS
• 1 Tbs BUTTER, unsalted
• 8 oz. BRUSSELS SPROUTS
• 1/2 cup HEAVY CREAM
• 1/4 cup PARMESAN CHEESE, grated
• SALT
• PEPPER

Put the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium-high heat and toast them for a few minutes. They will start to turn light brown. 

In a small saucepan heat the 1/2 cup heavy cream over medium heat for several minutes in order to reduce it by almost half. Make sure to stir constantly! Once the cream has reduced, mix in 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese and then turn the heat off.

After toasting the pine nuts, clean the Brussels sprouts and chop off the bottoms.

Then, depending on how big they are, either cut them in half or in quarters to make them bite sized.

My mom came for visit and she helped us cook!

After the Brussels sprouts are all cleaned up, melt a tablespoon of butter in the skillet and then throw the Brussels sprouts in. Add salt and pepper to taste. Saute them in the butter for about 7-10 minutes or until they are tender.

Once the Brussels sprouts are cooked, drizzle the Alfredo sauce over the top of them and sprinkle on the toasted pine nuts! Then serve!
