    Marla

    Recipe Introduction


    Brie cheese melts into warm pasta and marries its distinctive flavor with fresh pears to create a memorable (but not low-fat) dish for special occasions.

    List of Ingredients




    Farfalle Crowned With Brie And Pears


    12 ounces farfalle (bow tie pasta)
    One 6-ounce jar olive oil-packed julienned sun-dried tomatoes, drain and reserve oil
    3 tablespoons olive oil (use reserved oil from the sun-dried tomatoes)
    2 pears (at room temperature), peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes (about 2 ½ cups)
    4 ounces brie cheese, coarsely chopped (about 2/3 cup); remove and discard rind, then chop cheese (see Tip)
    ¼ cup coarsely chopped fresh basil
    1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
    4 cloves garlic, minced
    ¼ teaspoon pepper, or to taste
    Dash of salt, or to taste
    Freshly ground black pepper and toasted chopped walnuts for garnish

    Recipe



    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat; add the farfalle. When the water returns to a boil, stir occasionally to separate the farfalle. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook until al dente, about 12 to 14 minutes, or according to package

    While the bow ties are cooking, stir together the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl.

    When the pasta is done, drain well; return to the pot. Add the pear mixture and toss. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

    Makes 4 servings
