Nigella wrote: "#RecipeOfTheDay celebrates both *the* vegetable of the season and the joy of double carbs: Hearty Wholewheat Pasta with Brussels Sprouts, Cheese and Potato. And - in the politest possible way - may I ask the sprout-haters to desist from voicing their ire? If it’s not for you, it’s not for you! Still, you never know: you might surprise yourself by loving it."
The popular cook posted the full recipe over on her website, and writes: "It is not quite normal to feel as joyous as I do when saying the words 'Brussels sprouts', but this recipe does not merely use said much-denigrated ingredient, it also celebrates it."
Nigella says she was inspired by the dish pizzoccheri from Valtellina in Lombardy, Italy, which features tagliatelle, potates, cabbage and Taleggio cheese.
