  3. Drain excess fat from the pan, then return to medium-high heat and add 8 oz brussels sprouts, cored and sliced into ribbons, plus salt and pepper. Cook for a couple of minutes, then add ½ cup of chicken broth. Simmer until sprouts are tender. (Add more chicken broth, if needed.)
  4. Serve brussels sprouts over ravioli and garnish with crisp bacon and grated cheese.
