Brie Spaghetti
This brie spaghetti is creamy, rich and a great way to elevate dinner. I like to say this is an adult mac & cheese (if you love brie).
Servings: 4 servings
Equipment
- medium sized skillet or baking dish about 7-8 inches
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups spaghetti, uncooked *see notes
- 8 oz brie
- ½ cup mozzarella, shredded
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1½ cup mushrooms
- ⅓ cup chopped yellow onion
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp garlic cloves, minced
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes use less if sensitive to heat
- ¼ cup chopped parsely
- ½-1 cup reserved pasta water *see notes
Instructions
- Start the pasta. Preheat oven to 350º. Slice the top of the brie rind off, leave the bottom on to keep the brie flavor present (step 1). Place the brie rind in a medium sized oven safe dish, about 7-8 inches. Cook for 15 minutes covered with tin foil.
- In a large bowl add olive oil, chopped parsley, seasoning and garlic. Whisk together well. Once pasta is cooked add it to the oil and seasoning and mix well to ensure pasta is evenly coated.
- Add oil to a large skillet. Sauté the onions, tomatoes and mushrooms with a pinch of salt for about 5-8 minutes. Set aside.
- Pull the brie out add the shredded mozzarella, top with the oiled spaghetti and quickly toss. Top with the veggies and parsley, serve and enjoy!
- When brie is done, place pasta mushroom mix directly onto the melted cheese and carefully mix it evenly. Garnish with a bit more salt and parsely and serve!
Notes
*use a high quality brie for the best creamy melting texture.
*angel hair or fettuccine will work well. once cooked, this will yield about 3 cups of cooked pasta.
*reserve pasta water just incase you need to thin the pasta. Heavy cream will also work. Only use 1/4 cup at a time.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
