Ingredients
200g Pasta Vera Pappardelle
4 pieces streaky bacon
½ onion thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic – crushed
125g Brie cut into cubes (cut off rind if you prefer)
Basil and or Parsley
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
½ cup pasta water – reserved
Squeeze of lemon juice to taste
Method
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set the pasta aside.
In a large frying pan, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel to cool, then chop into small pieces.
Using the same pan, sauté the sliced onion in the bacon fat over medium-high heat until caramelised, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the cubed brie to the pan along with ½–¾ cup of reserved pasta water and a few squeezes of lemon juice. Stir until the cheese melts into a creamy sauce.
Toss the drained pasta with the sauce, then mix in the bacon and fresh herbs. Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve warm.
