Brie And Walnut Spaghetti Recipes

Steps:

• In a 6-quart kettle bring 5 quarts salted water to a boil.
• Add spaghetti and cook until al dente.
• Reserve 1/3 cup cooking liquid and drain pasta in a colander.
• Return pasta to kettle with reserved liquid.
• While pasta is cooking, in a large heavy skillet heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook broccoli with salt to taste, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about 30 seconds.
• add broccoli mixture, Brie, and walnuts (and other ingredients if used), tossing until cheese is just melted.
• If desired, season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.
• Meanwhile, combine the olive oil and shallot in a large pot over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallot is softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the wine and simmer until mostly reduced, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cheese spread, mustard, ham, spaghetti and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water. Cook, tossing, until the spaghetti is coated with the sauce, 1 to 2 minutes, adding more cooking water as needed to loosen (the pasta will absorb the sauce as it sits). Season with salt, add the parsley and toss again.
• Divide the spaghetti among shallow bowls. Spoon any remaining sauce on top and season generously with pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the walnuts and cook, tossing occasionally, until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the thyme, season lightly with salt and toss. Stir in the brandy and remove from the heat. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in the dried apricots and preserves. Let cool to room temperature.
• Place the Brie on the center of the prepared baking sheet and cut off the rind on top. Spread the apricot compote evenly over the top of the Brie.
• Unroll the puff pastry sheets on a floured work surface. Brush a 2-inch strip down the long edge of one sheet with the egg and line up the second sheet with the first, overlapping the edge brushed with egg so that the two stick together. Flour the pastry well and roll with a floured rolling pin to make a 14-inch square. Trim the corners from the pastry to make a circle (you want to make the largest circle possible). Reserve the trimmings. Transfer the pastry to the baking sheet and cover the Brie. Tuck the edges underneath the Brie.
• Reroll the pastry scraps and cut out five or six 2-inch leaf shapes, then score them with the back of a butter knife to create simple veins in the leaf. Brush the pastry-wrapped Brie with the egg. Arrange the leaves decoratively on top of the Brie and brush with the egg.
• Bake the brie until the pastry is puffed and deep golden, about 40 minutes. Let stand about 20 minutes before serving with apple and pear slices and crackers.

Steps:

• In a 6-quart kettle bring 5 quarts salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente. Reserve 1/3 cup cooking liquid and drain pasta in a colander. Return pasta to kettle with reserved liquid.
• While pasta is cooking, in a large heavy skillet heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook broccoli with salt to taste, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about 30 seconds.
• To pasta add broccoli mixture, Brie, and walnuts, tossing until cheese is just melted, and season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• cook pasta halfway through cooking add green beans in another pan cook onion chop tomatoes and cheese and mix with garlic, lemon and oil, season drain pasta, add onion and veg and mix until cheese starts melting

Steps:

• Three quarters fill a large pot with water, bring to the boil, add the spaghetti and cook till al dente (about 8 minutes).
• Drain the spaghetti being careful to RESERVE SOME OF THE COOKING WATER.
• Return the hot spaghetti to the pot and, over a low heat, add the baby spinach leaves and cheese and stir until the baby spinach leaves wilt and the cheese starts to melt; add a little of the pasta water and continue to stir. (When I made this using yoghurt instead of cheese, I added very little water; judge how much water to use by the consistency).
• Add the pear (or apple), walnuts, thyme and sage, stir well, and allow to warm through.
• Drizzle with lemon juice, season to taste with freshly ground black pepper and serve hot.
• Notes: For a smoother sauce, in a small pan, over a very low heat, melt the cheese with some of the pasta water and stir in the pear (or apple); then stir in the spaghetti and baby spinach leaves, until they are well coated; then add the lemon juice and gently fold in the walnuts, thyme and sage.
