LOL Slatten. I'm not picking on Loki! Proper use of language is one of the things on which we are forever bonded, so I thought he might enjoy this little meme.

As to linguine, I"m a big fan of using a mixture of mushrooms, garlic, shallots, peas and a little cream.
But the pancetta and brussels sprouts sounds pretty amazing.
I also like smoked salmon and baby asparagus, again with a little cream.

I'm pretty much an omnivore, so I doubt there is anything with linguine I would turn down!

Here is one variation: (You can also Google Pancetta & Brussel Sprouts Linguine and get other variations.)

Bring large pot heavily salted water to a boil. Add the penne and cook until pasta is just al dente (do not overcook).
Meanwhile, heat large sauté pan over high heat and add the olive oil. When oil is hot, add the pancetta and rosemary, and sauté until the fat on the pancetta starts to turn t***slucent and very lightly brown, about 1 minute. Add the garlic, chile and freshly ground black pepper to taste, and sauté until garlic and pancetta turn richly brown, about 3 minutes. Add the brussels sprouts, a large pinch of salt and a splash of water to pan, and sauté until sprouts just start to soften, about 2 minutes. Spread sprouts mixture in pan and press down to flatten. Let it sear for a minute, then stir it up and repeat. This helps brown the sprouts. Add the butter, and sauté for another minute.
Drain penne and add it to pan with brussels sprouts mixture. Cook, tossing, until everything is well mixed. Spoon into pasta bowls and top with a drizzle of oil and lemon juice, and a little cheese if you like.
