Comfort pasta with some great twists: salty prosciutto to bring in, well, the salt, fresh Brussels to get your crunch and your health on at the same time, and a bit of rosemary and lemon for fresh, bright, herbacious delight. Let's twist again, like we did last pasta bowl. (Don't do this literally after eating pasta… really bad idea.)
