Spaghetti with Baked Brie, Mushrooms & Spinach

(2)

Melted Brie cheese coats pasta and roasted veggies in this rich vegetarian pasta dish. We bake the Brie on a square of parchment paper so you can remove it from the oven early if it’s melted before your vegetables are done. White-wine vinegar and balsamic glaze add tang and a hint of sweetness in this easy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1 (8-ounce) package mushrooms, sliced ¼-inch thick

  • 1 cup sliced yellow onion

  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • 3 large cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

  • 1 (8-ounce) wheel Brie, top rind removed

  • 8 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti

  • 4 cups coarsely chopped spinach

  • 2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.

  3. Meanwhile, place Brie on a 5-inch square of parchment paper. Stir the vegetables, then move some aside and place the Brie on the parchment on the baking sheet. Bake until the vegetables are tender and the cheese is hot and melted, about 10 minutes more. (If the cheese is melted before the vegetables are done, carefully remove it from the baking sheet using the parchment paper.)

  4. Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add 8 ounces spaghetti and cook according to package directions. Place 4 cups spinach in a large colander and drain the pasta over the spinach. Return the pasta and spinach to the saucepan. When the veggies and Brie are done, add them to the saucepan. Add 2 tablespoons vinegar and ½ teaspoon garlic powder; stir well, making sure that everything gets coated with cheese.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
