Brie Macaroni and Cheese

8/15/2018

0 Comments

 
Brielieve it or not, brie is probably the easiest kind of cheese to use for mac and cheese since it's so melty. If you're having trouble scooping it out of the wheel, you can stick it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to loosen up the insides!

What you need:
  • 1 cup uncooked macaroni noodles
  • 1 12-13oz wheel of double cream brie
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream or whole milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
What to do:
  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the macaroni noodles according to package directions.
  2. Using a sharp cheese knife, cut a circle about halfway down around the top layer of the wheel of brie. Be careful not to go too far down and puncture the bottom layer.
  3. Scrape off the top layer of the brie rind (the hard white part.) When you're done, you should have a brie bowl - it's sort of like carving a pumpkin, but way better.
  4. Scoop out all of the creamy brie and put it into a small pot.
  5. Add the milk or cream to the brie in the pot and heat it on the stove (low/medium heat) until it's all melted.
  6. Pour the melted brie sauce over the cooked macaroni noodles and mix well. 
  7. Fill the brie bowl with the pasta and top with salt and pepper

Tomato, Sausage and White Wine Pasta Sauce

8/12/2018

I don't eat a lot of meat with my pasta but this one is great for when I'm craving a lil protein. The sausage pieces shown in this recipe are kinda chunky, but if you want the meat to be smaller - all you have to do is break it apart more while you're cooking it in the skillet. 

I really hate portion sizes. I always say it's best to make a lot and then save whatever is leftover/repurpose any extra stuff into another meal. If I had to guess, I'd say the amount listed below in the recipe is enough for three small plates, or two big plates of food. Does anybody even really eat the same amount anyways? Lol.
Picture
What you need:
  • 1 cup of uncooked pasta. I used calamari pasta but any sort of rounded pasta you can pick up on the end of your fork will do.
  • 1/2 lb (about 1 cup once cooked) ground Italian sausage
  • 3-4 minced garlic cloves
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (chardonnay) 
  • salt + pepper to taste
  • parsley for topping
What to do:
  1. ​Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta according to packing instructions while you make the sausage and tomato sauce. 
  2. In a large skillet (medium heat on stove) cook the sausage until it's browned and not pink anymore. Add in the minced garlic once it's about half way done cooking.
  3. Next, add the cherry tomatoes to the cooked sausage and garlic. Pour the olive oil and wine over the sausage and tomatoes and then turn the heat down to the simmer setting. Cover with a lid and let sit for 10 minutes.
  4. "Pop" the tomatoes by pressing down on them with a fork or spoon - you'll see their juices start to come out into the skillet. 
  5. Add in the cooked pasta and mix everything around for a couple of minutes. 
  6. Salt and pepper to taste + top with parsley and parmesan cheese.
