Tasty Tuesdays: Pasta with Tomato, Basil, & Brie

.

Welcome to Tasty Tuesdays!

 

I originally posted this recipe back in the summer of 2010.  I am sharing again today becasue I haven't been cooking much.  I've had weddingd to attend the last two weekends and have been busy enjoying the last few weeks of summer.

 

In an attempt to keep up with my ever growing supply of fresh basil, I made this pasta dish for dinner the other night. I thought it was good and it was probably the quickest pasta dish I have ever made! I used whole grain pasta, but if I make this dish again I think I would use regular pasta; I thought the whole grain made the overall dish a little dry.
