Active:: 20 min

Yield:: 6 servings

Level:: Easy

Ingredients

Kosher salt
1 pound thin spaghetti
2 pounds beefsteak tomatoes (about 3 medium)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped, plus more for serving
8 ounces Brie, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Directions

Watch how to make this recipe.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions.

Meanwhile, grate the tomatoes on the largest holes of a box grater into a large bowl, discarding any big pieces of excess tomato skin. Whisk in the oil, basil and 2 teaspoons salt. Stir in the brie.

Drain the pasta, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water. Add the pasta to the tomato mixture and toss to combine. Add the pasta water, a little at a time, to moisten the pasta and help the Brie partially melt, if needed.

Top with fresh basil before serving.
