The basics of this pasta is so versatile that you can really alter it to your tastebuds, which I love. You can practically create a different dish everytime by switching up the ingredients. Who wants to eat the same thing everyday, right?
What I love about this dish is that it's tasty, healthy, and requires only what you have in the fridge. It's a great way to finish things up. :)
(Serves 2-3 people)
8 oz of fusilli pasta (roughly half a box and any type of short pasta works)
1/2 c of red cherry tomatoes, halved
4 oz of brie, diced
1/4 c fresh basil, diced
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 clove of garlic, diced
Bring a pot of salted water to boil and cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a pot, heat up garlic and olive oil for a minute or two until garlic is golden.
Turn off heat. Add pasta, tomatoes, brie, and basil and mix well. Add more olive oil if necessary.
Salt and pepper to taste.
