Brie Spaghetti

Nutty, buttery brie is one of our favorite cheese because it’s approachable yet fancy, and it goes with a wide variety of other flavors. When we’re not just eating it alongside some crackers and wine, we’re usually tucking it into party apps like our cranberry brie bites, our baked brie, or our bacon brie crescent wreath. We love how simple and impressive they are, without a ton of work, just like this brie spaghetti. With very little effort, you can have a super decadent pasta dish perfect for holiday meals, date nights, and any evening where you crave something a little extra special.

It’s gotta be said—brie can be costly. We used a BIG wheel for our video above, but we understand that for a lot of the year, those are hard to find or are prohibitively expensive. Larger cheese wheels start popping up around the holidays for less money, but if you can’t find them (or want to make this the rest of the year), don’t worry: You can get away with a wheel about (or a little over) half the size. A little bit of brie goes a long way, and your pasta will still be delicious.

If you’re sensitive to garlic, feel free to sauté it before you mix it in with the rest of the ingredients (do it before you bake the brie and use the same pan to cut down on dishes). You’re also welcome to swap the spaghetti for any other type of pasta you prefer.

Because brie congeals when it cools, you’re going to want to eat this very soon after you make it. If you’re desperate to prep something ahead of time, though, try cooking your pasta the day before you plan to serve it. Don’t forget to reserve that pasta water though!
