Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F(200°C). Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 6-8 minutes. Drain the Brussels sprouts and set aside for later.
2. In a cast-iron skillet (or any oven-proof skillet), heat 1 tablespoon butter and fry garlic and onion with Italian seasoning and red chili pepper flakes over medium heat until fragrant, 1 or 2 minutes. Whisk in the mixture of cornstarch (or flour), stirring constantly until fully incorporated.
3. Stir in broth in the skillet and mix until the sauce thickens a bit. Pour cream over and whisk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste then spread out Brussels sprouts evenly into the sauce. Give a quick stir to coat well and sprinkle with Parmesan.
4. Transfer the skillet and bake the gratin until bubbly and golden brown, about 15 minutes.
