Ingredients
  • 12 ounces linguine, broken in half
  • 1 cup packed basil leaves
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped roasted red peppers
  • ½ cup sliced oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
  • 3-4 large garlic cloves, pressed
  • 4½ cups water
  • 2 tablespoons oil from the jar of sun-dried tomatoes (or regular olive oil)
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • Pinch red pepper flakes
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 8 ounces brie cheese, rind removed and torn into pieces
  • Grated parmesan, for serving
  • Good quality olive oil, for serving
Instructions
  1. Combine the first five ingredients in a pot or 3-quart straight-sided skillet. Next, add the water, olive oil, salt, red pepper flakes, and a generous amount of black pepper - I like use about six "turns" of the pepper grinder.
  2. Bring your pot to a full rolling boil over high heat. Using tongs, stir and turn the pasta frequently to prevent sticking. Cook until al dente, approximately 9 to 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat. (If there is still a little bit of cooking water pour some, but not all, into a separate bowl.)
  3. Add the brie and toss with tongs until creamy and melted. Season with additional salt and pepper, to taste.
  4. The sauce will naturally thicken up after a couple of minutes and will become even thicker if you save leftovers or if you don't serve immediately.
  5. Serve with grated Parmesan and additional basil, if desired.
