Best Brie And Asparagus Pasta Casserole Recipes

BAKED BRIE PASTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Using a paring knife, score a 1/4-inch border around the edges of the top of the Brie about 1/4-inch deep. Carefully slice off the top rind in one piece using a chef's knife and staying within the border to make a lid; set the top aside.
• Place the Brie in an 8-inch cast-iron skillet and top the center with the sun-dried tomatoes, wine, red pepper, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover with the reserved top rind. Bake just until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, during the last 10 minutes of baking, cook the pasta according to the package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Drain.
• Remove the top rind from the Brie. Sprinkle the basil over the melted cheese and gently stir to combine. Using tongs, gently toss a quarter of the pasta in the center of the melted cheese until coated and transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining 3 portions of pasta. If the cheese sauce thickens, stir in some pasta water, a tablespoon at a time.

• Bake 12 minutes.
• Leave your oven on, but remove pastry from the oven.
• Layer the slices of brie over the top (leave a small edge).
• Cut your asparagus to the width of the pastry and arrange in a single layer over your brie slices (you could make it pretty or whatever by putting top to bottom top to bottom alternating ends that are on each side).

BRIE AND ASPARAGUS IN PHYLLO

Keep re-buttering and folding in half (probably 3 "folds" total) until you have a rectangle with dimensions close to 4 by 4 inches. Cut into 3 sections. Sprinkle Parmesan on each piece of dough. Crumble a bit of brie on each. Lay asparagus tip on top and roll dough around asparagus. The tip of the asparagus should show out of the end. Repeat to make 16 pieces. Lay all pieces out on a cookie sheet. Brush each piece with butter and bake in oven until golden brown. Serve warm.

ASPARAGUS PROSCIUTTO CREPES WITH WHITE WINE BRIE SAUCE FOR TWO

Steps:

• Cook the asparagus to your liking and set aside.
• Remove the rind from the brie and tear or cut into pieces; set aside.
• In a medium skillet, melt the 1/4 tablespoon butter; add the mushrooms; saute for about 4 minutes.
• Add the onion and continue to saute until the onion is translucent (about 3 more minutes). Set aside.
• In a medium sauce pan, melt the 3 tablespoons butter; add the flour, stirring until smooth. I cooked this mixture on medium-medium high for about two minutes trying to get it to brown, but no luck.
• Slowly add the chicken stock, one 1/2 cup at a time, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
• Once the stock is incorporated, slowly stir in the white wine as you stir to avoid lumps.
• Add the garlic powder and ground black pepper.
• Turn heat up to medium high and stir so the mixture is very hot, but not boiling.
• Add the sour cream and stir briskly. The lumps will dissipate as you continue to cook the sauce.
• Stir in the brie pieces; turn heat down to medium low.
• Add in the parsley and sauteed mushrooms and onions.
• Continue to heat the sauce, stirring occasionally until all lumps are removed.
• At this point, you can either create your crepes or use your prepared crepes. I made my crepes while my sauce softly simmered.
• Place one slice of prosciutto on the crepe.
• Place four spears of asparagus on the crepe. Roll up the crepe.
• Top with the sauce.
• Serve and enjoy!
