Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt
One 17 1/2-ounce wheel firm Brie (6-inch diameter)
Two 3-ounce jars sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and chopped (2/3 cup)
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 small clove garlic, finely grated
10 ounces linguine
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Using a paring knife, score a 1/4-inch border around the edges of the top of the Brie about 1/4-inch deep. Carefully slice off the top rind in one piece using a chef's knife and staying within the border to make a lid; set the top aside.
Place the Brie in an 8-inch cast-iron skillet and top the center with the sun-dried tomatoes, wine, red pepper, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover with the reserved top rind. Bake just until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 18 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, during the last 10 minutes of baking, cook the pasta according to the package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Drain.
Remove the top rind from the Brie. Sprinkle the basil over the melted cheese and gently stir to combine. Using tongs, gently toss a quarter of the pasta in the center of the melted cheese until coated and transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining 3 portions of pasta. If the cheese sauce thickens, stir in some pasta water, a tablespoon at a time.

RASPBERRY BAKED BRIE CHICKEN OVER PASTA image

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 thick chicken breasts
4 strips bacon
1/4 lb brie
1/2 lb broccoli florets(frozen or fresh), chopped
1/2 lb rice noodles
4 tsp. honey
lime juice
Raspberry gravy:
4 Tbsp butter
4 Tbsp rice flour (or tapioca flour, or other gluten-free thickener)
2-3 cups half-n-half
1/4 cup raspberry preserves
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
2 Tbsp honey
Salt

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Fry bacon until crispy, crumble and set aside. Choose thick chicken breasts and slice a hole in the center being careful not to slice all the way through. Cut brie into thin chunks and stuff into the chicken along with bacon crumbles. Use olive oil to grease a baking pan and place chicken inside. Dribble honey and lime juice over the chicken and bake for 1 hour. While that cooks, boil water for the rice noodles (they only take about ten minutes once the water boils). Add a tiny bit of olive oil so the noodles don't stick together. In a saucepan, create a roux by melting 4 Tbsp butter, then adding 4 Tbsp rice flour until thoroughly blended (still over the heat). Slowly add the half-n-half to thicken the gravy. Once thickened, blend in the copped walnuts, raspberry preserves and honey. Salt to taste. The broccoli can be microwaved or steamed in a pot. I usually microwave it with a tsp of water and some butter.
