Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions.
• Meanwhile, grate the tomatoes on the largest holes of a box grater into a large bowl, discarding any big pieces of excess tomato skin. Whisk in the oil, basil and 2 teaspoons salt. Stir in the Brie.
• Drain the pasta, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water. Add the pasta to the tomato mixture and toss to combine. Add the pasta water, a little at a time, to moisten the pasta and help the Brie partially melt, if needed.

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.
