Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g linguine pasta
- 200 g brie cheese
- 300 g cherry tomatoes
- 3 garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 10 fresh basil leaves
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 120 ml reserved pasta water
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 120 ml of pasta water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, prepare the brie cheese by cutting off the rind and slicing it into small cubes. Set aside.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to break down and release their juices.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the reserved pasta water. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to create a light sauce.
Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss to coat it with the tomato sauce.
Scatter the cubed brie cheese over the pasta and gently toss until the cheese melts and creates a creamy sauce that coats the linguine.
Tear the fresh basil leaves and add them to the skillet. Toss once more to combine.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional basil leaves if desired.
