Ingredients

• 200 grams brie cheese (rind removed, cut into small chunks)
• 3 medium roasted green chilies (diced)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper (freshly ground)
• 400 grams pasta (such as fettuccine or penne, cooked according to package instructions)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 3

Add the unsalted butter to the pan and let it melt completely.

Step 4

Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture come to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Add the brie cheese pieces to the cream mixture and stir frequently until the cheese has melted completely.

Step 6

Stir in the diced roasted green chilies and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until the Parmesan has melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 7

Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 8

If the sauce is too thick, stir in a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 9

Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce, ensuring all the pasta is well coated.

Step 10

Serve the pasta immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
