Penne with Bacon and Brussel Sprouts

Ingredients:

8 oz. penne, cooked al dente
4 pieces of bacon, chopped and cooked until crispy

1/2 red onion, minced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 red pepper, minced

salt and pepper to taste
1 cup-ish brussel sprouts, quartered

mozzarella cheese, to taste

Directions:
While the bacon is cooking, start your pasta boiling and chop up the veggies.

Add the onion, garlic and red pepper to the bacon pan, salt and pepper to taste.

Turn the bacon down low to caramelize the onion and pepper and steam the brussel sprouts until they are softened, about 5 minutes or so, drain.

Layer pasta, brussel sprouts and top with the bacon-onion-pepper mixture and a handful of mozzarella cheese.
