Ingredients

  • 250g/8oz brie cheese
  • 115g/ 1/2 cup grated mozzarella
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • 2 cloves garlic sliced
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 250g/ 1/2 lbs spiralli or any other short pasta
  • 4 tbsp grated mozzarella
  • 90g/3 cups fresh spinach
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350F/180C.
  • Slice the top rind off your brie and lay sliced garlic and rosemary leaves directly on it and sprinkle with a little bit of olive oil. Put it in a small baking dish and bake it in the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of salted water according to the package direction, in the last minute of cooking add the spinach to the pot, then drain both pasta and spinach. Reserve 60ml/¼ cup water you cooked pasta in.
  • Return pasta and spinach back to the pot and gently mix everything with 4 tbsp of grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tbsp of butter and salt and pepper, add a few splashes (60ml/¼ cup) of reserved water to make it a bit runny. Cover with a lid and set aside.
  • When brie is completely melted pour it in the pasta leaving the rind behind and with a bit more water if the sauce gets too thick to stir. You want pasta to be loose, not solid.
  • Empty the pasta into a buttered baking dish and sprinkle with grated mozzarella. Bake at 180C/350F for 20 minutes until mac and cheese is heated through and forms golden crust on top.
