A friend gave me this recipe a long time ago. I make it a lot when I entertain because it’s easy and can be easily doubled or tripled. Leftovers are a bonus. It’s great heated up for lunch the next day.
Asparagus/Brie Pasta
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box Penne Pasta
- 1 8 oz package of button mushrooms
- 1 bunch of asparagus
- small jar of sun dried tomatoes in olive oil
- 1 large round of brie
- 2 t minced garlic
- 2 T olive oil
- 1/4 t salt
- pepper from the grinder
Instructions
- Rinse the asparagus, cut off the large ends and chop into bite size pieces
- Clean and slice the mushrooms
- In a large skillet, saute the mushrooms and asparagus in the olive oil
- Add the sun dried tomatoes, garlic, salt and pepper
- Remove the rind from the cheese and chop into small pieces (putting it in the freezer for a little while makes it easier to get the rind off)

- Drain and put in a large dutch oven
- Add the vegetables and cheese, mixing it thoroughly
- Place over low heat, covered, stirring occasionally until the cheese melts
- Add additional salt and pepper, if desired

To make it a little heartier, I sometimes saute a few chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces in a skillet until cooked through and then add it to the pasta.
I had a glass of Pinot Noir with this and it was perfect!

What a delicious vegetarian dish RMW! 😀
That’s so cute!
Why, why, do you always include all my favorites? Another keeper.
That looks really yummy!
Hey girlfriend you have been on my mind all day today so I was wondering if something was going on today that would cause me to think of you all day. lol
Then I come on here tonight and you have left me a message.
You must of missed my goodbye post when Gretchen left for Kentucky. There was a picture of her in that one.
I should not have put the one of her making the face because it is not good of her but she is beautiful.
This recipe is one I would love. I may be coming over here for a lot of recipes if I go on that vegan diet starting on June lst with Christi.
Have you read that book Eat to Live? She wants us to do that so I told her I would and now I am thinking oh gosh how am I going to eat only veggies, and fruit. lol
Love
Maggie
My daughter Hannah is a vegan! I think she would love this recipe. I appreciate the share. Your photos are so vidid and colorful I love stopping by. Have a super weekend!
Oh this has to be one of my favorite! I love pasta and asparagus combination.
The recipe sounds easy and your photos make me drool 🙂
That pasta looks SO delicious! I love asparagus and mushrooms, perfect combination.
I never wash my mushrooms though when I can help it, I just wipe it with a paper towel/towel or peel it if it’s dirty. I find washing it makes it too watery for me. 🙂
Now this is my kind of pasta dish!! What a fabulous mix of flavors! I’ll be making this for sure!!
Can’t we just come to YOUR house for dinner? That looks amazing. How can you possibly go wrong with fresh asparagus and brie?!
This looks yummy, and I love that it’s vegetarian!
Oh my good, good, GOODness.
You’re killin’ me here…
=D
How timely! I just picked asparagus from my garden and I just took a moment before heading out to the store to read a couple ‘A’ entries. I’ve got to try this♫♪
Oh, that looks delicious! As a vegetarian, I love finding new simple recipes to try. I’ll be making this one for sure!

Sounds yummy. Good A.
This is perfect, because I never can get enough brie or asparagus! And I always have a package of penne in my cupboard – thanks for the recipe!! Today I realized that you have your own website!
This looks amazing! I need to see if I can find some green asparagus for a decent price here!
This makes me wish my asparagus were finally three years old. This is my kind of meal.
We love roasted asparagus! This looks deliscious!~Ames
Hi again!
Visiting from Mrs Matlock’s, many thanks for stopping by.
Great post – so yummy.
Have a great Memorial weekend too!
We’ve been having fabulous Italian food here in Italy but that looks delicious! I love asparagus, which is in season here. Yum Yum! {:-D
Oh my heavens! This looks absolutely sublime!
I make a similar recipe with blue cheese, but it doesn’t keep for leftovers.
This would be scrumptious now AND later!
Thanks for linking up again!
It made me smile to see you here today!
A+
I hope you had a good Memorial Day!
Mmmm. That looks so delicious!
