Way too much salt ... I'd eliminate the extra salt altogether and just let the pancetta flavor come through. I also added an extra garlic clove. Finally, I steamed the sprouts instead of boiling out all the flavor and nutrients. (Side note: I never boil any vegetables unless absolutely necessary.)

Delicious! You can't go wrong with bacon. I did use regular bacon like some others. But, this is definitely a keeper. Thanks for sharing

made it twice, very good, go easy on the procuitto, you can add ham or a couple pieces of bacon instead. made sure the brussel sprouts are not cooked to much you want them just about to turn soft before frying.

I used bacon instead of pancetta. I had never tried brussel sprouts before so I thought that a recipe where they are coated in bacon grease would be a good starting point. Well guess what? They tasted like bacon! Delicious bacon. Maybe the pancetta would have been a little more subtle but overall if you want brussel sprouts but don't actually want to taste them, this is the recipe for you.

I have never eaten or cooked Brussel Sprouts before this recipe and all I can say is WOW! Cooked this for our family and a friend, everyone loved them, except my daughter, who wouldn't go near it, but I think that's normal for a six year old, lol. I followed the advice of fellow reviewers and cooked with half and half and sliced baby portabella mushrooms. Had to substitute the pancetta for bacon as I couldn't find it at my local store. Still turned out wonderful! I doubled the recipe to feed everyone, but I think I'll need to triple it next time! That way everyone can get as much as they want.
