Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz spinach linguini
- 8 oz brie cheese
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 garlic cloves
- 4 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spinach linguini according to package instructions, draining it 1 minute before al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and set the pasta aside.
Remove the rind from the brie cheese and cut it into small chunks for easy melting. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted. Add the garlic cloves, minced, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until wilted.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Add the brie chunks and cook, stirring frequently, until the brie has melted and combined into the sauce.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and black pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, gradually stir in the reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached.
Add the cooked linguini to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the sauce, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the pasta finishes cooking and absorbs the flavors of the sauce.
Serve the spinach linguini hot, garnished with additional grated Parmesan and freshly cracked black pepper if desired. Enjoy immediately!
