Brie Pasta | Serves 2
🍴INGREDIENTS🍴
7oz / 200g Pasta of choice, here I've used Gigli
7oz / 200g block of Brie, rind removed and diced into chunks
6 slices of Streaky Bacon (see notes)
1 large Onion, thinly sliced
1 tsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1/2 tsp Fresh Thyme (approx 2 sprigs)
Salt & Black Pepper, as needed
Olive Oil, as needed
🍴METHOD🍴
Bacon: add bacon to a pan over low-medium heat and fry both sides until crisp with the fat fully rendered down. Remove bacon and leave the fat in the pan. Dice just before needed.
Onions: add onion to the leftover fat and fry for around 10mins until they just start to pick up colour (add more oil if needed). Turn heat to low and gently caramelize the onions until golden, sticky and very soft (around 30-40mins). This process is important to sweat down the onions and sweeten them, the lower and slower you fry the more caramelized they'll be.
Pasta: just before the onions are finished, pop your pasta in salted boiling water and cook until al dente. Reserve a cup of starchy pasta just before draining.
Brie: whisk 1/2 cup/120ml starchy pasta water in with the onions then melt in the brie.
Serve: toss in pasta then stir in 1 tsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp thyme and the diced bacon, using more starchy pasta water to thin out the sauce if needed. Season with salt and black pepper (careful with salt as bacon and brie already salty) then serve up and enjoy!
