Asparagus/Brie Pasta

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

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

Print Recipe
  • Author: Rocky Mountain Woman

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

  1. Rinse the asparagus, cut off the large ends and chop into bite size pieces
  2. Clean and slice the mushrooms
  3. In a large skillet, saute the mushrooms and asparagus in the olive oil
  4. Add the sun dried tomatoes, garlic, salt and pepper
  5. 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)
  6. Cook the pasta according to the directions on the box
  7. Drain and put in a large dutch oven
  8. Add the vegetables and cheese, mixing it thoroughly
  9. Place over low heat, covered, stirring occasionally until the cheese melts
  10. Add additional salt and pepper, if desired

y….

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!

xxoo,

RMW

    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

    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. 🙂

    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!
