“The time is NOW,” the garden seems to say, “take advantage of us while you can!” Here’s a quick and easy pasta side to help lighten the garden guilt, if only by a couple tomatoes and a handful of basil. It’s another favorite of my friend Heidi H (thanks Heidi!). This pasta dish uses bits of melty brie to bring it all together - the tomatoes, pasta, basil, garlic, and baby spinach, and is tossed with Parmesan before serving. Yum! Microwave for 2-3 minutes, or until the brie is melty and soft. (If you don’t have a microwave, place the ingredients in a bowl and let sit for an hour or two, so the brie softens.) Toss together so that the spinach, basil, cheese, and tomatoes are well dispersed through the pasta. Break up or smash any large pieces of cheese.
