This was disappointing to us b/c the flavor was so mild. I love the idea of it, though, & it was so easy. We like strong flavors, so will try it again with a stronger cheese. Definitely worth tinkering with.

- Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and return the pasta to the pot. Add the steamed broccoli, pine nuts, Brie, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir until the cheese melts. Divide among individual bowls.
Tip: The Brie's rind adds a rich, earthy flavor to the pasta, but you can omit it if you prefer. You can also try fontina or Taleggio instead of Brie.
