Pasta
- 8 ounces elbow macaroni or your preferred pasta
Cheese Sauce
- 8 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed and cut into pieces
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the Brie Sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the milk and warm it gently without boiling. Gradually stir in the Brie pieces, stirring continuously until the cheese melts completely and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
- Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the Brie sauce, stirring well to coat all the noodles evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Serve immediately while warm and creamy.
Notes
- Remove the rind from the Brie for a smoother sauce, but some prefer to leave it on for enhanced flavor and texture.
- Use whole milk for the creamiest sauce; you can substitute with half-and-half for an even richer texture.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg or black pepper for extra flavor.
- For added texture, sprinkle with crispy breadcrumbs before serving.
