Creamy Baked Brie Pasta with Butternut Squash

Print Recipe
This baked brie pasta starts by roasting brie, shallots, garlic, and sweet butternut squash then blending it into a creamy sauce. It tastes like grown-up mac and cheese: creamy, slightly sweet, and loaded with savory, herby flavors from the garlic, shallots, and herbs. It's absolutely delicious!

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb dry pasta any shape
  • 4-6 cloves garlic peeled and chopped
  • 1 shallot peeled and sliced thinly
  • 1/2 medium butternut squash peeled and cubed; approximately 2-3 cups
  • 7-8 oz brie I used a triple creme brie for a creamier flavor
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter finely minced
  • 1 Tbsp fresh parsley minced
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes optional; for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Remove the top layer of the rind from brie wheel and place the whole cheese in the middle of the baking dish.
  • Arrange cubed butternut squash pieces, shallots, and garlic around the brie.
  • Sprinkle with cubed butter and seasonings. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Bake for approximately 30-40 minutes or until the cheese is melting and the squash is soft and smashable.
  • While roasting the cheese and veggies, boil a pot of salted water and cook pasta until al dente.
  • Once cooked, strain off the pasta water, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water for the sauce.
  • Add the contents of the baking dish (baked brie, shallots, garlic, squash, etc) to the pot and add the pasta water. Use an immersion blender to blend the sauce until thick and creamy.
  • Transfer the pasta back to pot and toss with the sauce.
  • Sprinkle with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes and serve!
