Asparagus/Brie Pasta

This is actually a recipe that a friend gave me a long time ago. I make it all the time! It’s also a good recipe to feed a crowd (just double or triple the amounts). It keeps well and left overs are great warmed up the next day for lunch…
Ingredient List:
1 box Penne pasta
1 package button mushrooms
1 bunch asparagus
small jar sun dried tomatoes in olive oil
1 large round of brie
minced garlic (optional, but wonderful!)
olive oil
Wash the asparagus
chop in bite sized pieces
wash the mushrooms
slice
put a few tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet and add the asparagus and mushrooms
sun dried tomatoes
and garlic if you want (I want!)
remove the rind from the cheese and cut it up into small pieces
cook the pasta according to the package directions (use lots of salt in the cooking water!) Drain the pasta and put it in a large dutch oven
dump the vegetables on top
add the cheese
cover and place over very low heat until the cheese melts, stirring occasionally….
This is kind of my basic vegetarian pasta recipe. You can add more or less cheese, vegetables, etc.
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.
Typically this dish would probably be paired with a white wine, but I love it with a glass of Pinot Noir….

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

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!!
May 24th, 2012 at 6:15 am
Can’t we just come to YOUR house for dinner? That looks amazing. How can you possibly go wrong with fresh asparagus and brie?!
May 24th, 2012 at 7:42 am
This looks yummy, and I love that it’s vegetarian!

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♫♪
May 24th, 2012 at 7:06 pm
Oh, that looks delicious! As a vegetarian, I love finding new simple recipes to try. I’ll be making this one for sure!

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!
May 25th, 2012 at 1:35 am
This looks amazing! I need to see if I can find some green asparagus for a decent price here!
May 25th, 2012 at 2:57 am
This makes me wish my asparagus were finally three years old. This is my kind of meal.
May 25th, 2012 at 7:19 pm
We love roasted asparagus! This looks deliscious!~Ames

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!
