Spinach Linguini With Brie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2/3 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 lb brie cheese, rind removed and chopped into small pieces
5 ounces sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and cut into thin strips
3 ripe roma tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup kalamata olive, pitted and roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 lb spinach linguine
2 tablespoons butter, melted
freshly grated parmesan cheese, for garnish
pine nuts, for garnish

Preparation

Cut the Brie into small pieces.
Please note that Brie is easier to cut when it is chilled; but after cutting, let it come to room temperature before combining with other ingredients.
In a large bowl, combine the cut-up Brie cheese, sundried tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, olives, garlic, basil, and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Pour immediately over the Brie mixture and toss to cover well.
Cover and let sit at room temperature for 2 hours, tossing occasionally.
Prepare spinach linguini according to package directions.
Drain pasta and toss with Brie/tomato mixture and melted butter.
Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and pine nuts.
Makes 5-6 servings.
