Craving a comforting yet indulgent pasta dish?
This creamy Shale Point Brie and bacon spaghetti, with its rich flavours and perfect balance of savoury and tangy, is sure to become your new favourite weeknight meal.
Ingredients:
- 200g Shale Point Brie
- 300g Spaghetti (or preferred pasta)
- 4 slices of bacon
- ½ yellow onion thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Basil for garnish
- Salt & cracked pepper to taste
- lemon juice to taste
Instructions:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Before draining, reserve 1 cup of pasta water and set it aside.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy and browned on both sides. Remove the bacon and place it on some paper towel to cool. Once cooled, chop it into bite-sized pieces.
- In the same skillet with the bacon grease, add the onion and sauté over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until caramelized. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Stir in the cubed Brie along with ½ cup of the reserved pasta water and a few squeezes of lemon juice. Stir constantly until the cheese melts, then add the cooked pasta. Toss everything together, then mix in the chopped bacon and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
