Pasta with tomatoes, brie, & basil Jul 25 Written By Ozben Felek One of Chloe’s favorite childhood summer dishes. The brie becomes like a creamy sauce when melted by the warm pasta. It’s even better if you can get beautiful & delicious heirloom tomatoes in season from the farmer’s market! Ingredients1 lb orecchiette pasta (but you can experiment with different types depending on your preference - linguine, gemelli, gluten-free, high-protein would all be great)2 large heirloom tomatoes (or 3-4 medium-sized)4 ounces of brie cheese1 tablespoon (1 - 2 medium cloves) chopped garlic1/2 cup basil leaves, sliced thin1/4 cup extra virgin oil1 teaspoon kosher salt1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepperRoughly chop the tomatoes and add to a large serving bowl. Add finely chopped garlic, and the basil leaves cut in thin slices. Pour the olive oil over everything, add salt and pepper.Cut brie into 1/2 inch cubes, leaving the rind on.Gently fold brie into tomato mixture, cover bowl, and let mixture sit at room temperature for about 2 hours (an no more than 8 hours)When you are ready to eat, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until just al dente.Strain the pasta, and then add to tomato brie mixture. Fold everything gently together until brie has begun to melt and pasta is coated evenly with sauce. Serve immediately with a big green salad! Ozben Felek
