Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

Kosher salt
1 pound thin spaghetti
2 pounds beefsteak tomatoes (about 3 medium)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped, plus more for serving
8 ounces Brie, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions.

Drain the pasta, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water. Add the pasta to the tomato mixture and toss to combine. Add the pasta water, a little at a time, to moisten the pasta and help the Brie partially melt, if needed.

Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best results.
If you don't have any fresh basil on hand, you can use dried basil instead. Just add it to the sauce at the end of cooking.

Serve this dish immediately after cooking, while the pasta is still hot.
