SPAGHETTI WITH BRIE, TOMATO, AND BASIL

Steps:

• In large Dutch oven or stock pot, combine tomatoes, garlic, and basil.
• Remove rind from Brie using a knife or a peeler. Once rind is removed, tear brie apart using your hands into small 1 inch pieces. Add brie to pot.
• Add olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
• Cover pot with lid and let marinate right on kitchen counter for about 5-6 hours. You don't want to put it in the fridge because the cheese will get too cold (assuming your home temperature is a fairly normal temp and not too hot. If it's above 80 in your home, I would put it in the fridge and then take out of fridge about 1 hour before using).
• If possible, stir once about 1/2 way through marinating time.
• When it's time to eat, boil salted water and cook pasta according to package directions. When cooked, drain pasta water and add pasta to Brie mixture. Stir thoroughly until cheese is melted.
• Serve with sprinkled Parmesan or Pecorino Romano, if desired.

BAKED BRIE PASTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Using a sharp knife, remove the top portion of the Brie, leaving the bottom and sides intact. Set it aside.
• In a 13x9" baking dish, toss together the tomatoes, olive oil and thyme. Push them to the sides of the dish. Place the wheel of Brie in the center.
• Bake until the rind has softened and the cheese is melted, about 35 minutes.
• While the cheese is baking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain and set it aside.
• Remove the cheese from the oven and immediately stir it together with the tomatoes until combined. Stir in the pasta then serve.

BAKED BRIE PASTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Using a paring knife, score a 1/4-inch border around the edges of the top of the Brie about 1/4-inch deep. Carefully slice off the top rind in one piece using a chef's knife and staying within the border to make a lid; set the top aside.
• Place the Brie in an 8-inch cast-iron skillet and top the center with the sun-dried tomatoes, wine, red pepper, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover with the reserved top rind. Bake just until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, during the last 10 minutes of baking, cook the pasta according to the package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Drain.
• Remove the top rind from the Brie. Sprinkle the basil over the melted cheese and gently stir to combine. Using tongs, gently toss a quarter of the pasta in the center of the melted cheese until coated and transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining 3 portions of pasta. If the cheese sauce thickens, stir in some pasta water, a tablespoon at a time.
