This was so tasty. I made this as a last minute meal and only have 20 minutes, so I put the sauce ingredients in a pan on low. I also didn't have any fettuccine so I used rotini.

I was looking for a recipe to use some brie leftover from a party and this looked very appealing. It was very easy to make and came together quickly. I was out of red wine vinegar and so used balsamic which provided a wonderful flavor. I plan on using even more vinegar next time. I sauteed some shrimp in garlic, fresh parsley and white wine to serve alongside and it was a nice compliment but not neccessary. My husband found the brie favor bitter though he enjoyed it immensely. I am going to try this fontina and cheddar next, as the basic concept would work with so many cheeses. This will be added to our menu with many thanks!

Made this for dinner last night. Used cherry tomatoes halved. Added shrimp which I sauteed with a second clove of minced garlic. Overall, very tasty. Will make again when we have extra Brie, which is not too often.

I didn't have time to marinate for the 1 or 2 hours but it was still yummy! I didn't have fresh basil either so I used the frozen cubes of basil from Trader Joe's instead. I also added in some asparagus and a lot more garlic. Will definitely make again!

Family enjoyed this. Great with garden tomatoes. Added calamata olives, sundried tomatoes and substituted brie with low fat cream cheese. Made sure to toss everything together in the hot pasta pan. Great left over. Might try goat cheese next.

I would give this 3 1/2 stars. It did quite have the punch I expected it to have. I cut the oil in half added about half of a pint of halved grape tomatoes and used a half of a head of roasted garlic from a recipe I found from this site. I'm glad I added the extra garlic otherwise it would have been to lifeless. I think I'll stick to making bruschetta and adding that over pasta.

This was excellent! I have made this twice for different groups of people & both groups loved it! I did cut the oil in half the second time I made it & it was still delicious. Great with Shirmp!

We loved this one with some changes. I used 1 can diced tomatoes, about 1/2 cup feta cheese with basil and sundried tomatoes and about 1/2 cut goat cheese (I love goat cheese). I also used whole wheat penne pasta. I sauteed about 1 pound shrimp in 1 Tbls. olive oil and 1 Tbls. butter seasoned with lemon juice garlic powder and Cavenders. When the pasta was done, I put the shrimp and tomato mixture in the pot with the drained pasta and mixed togeter. Served with a sprinkle of goat cheese and extra basil. I agree with one of the other reviews that crumbled bacon on top would be a nice touch. It was delicious!!! I also think it would be good with seasoned grilled chichen. I'll definitely do this one again.

This was DELICIOUS!!! I made 2 small changes to this recipe: 1) cooked the garlic in the olive oil 2) added grilled chicken breast pieces. I couldn't believe how good and easy this was. It tasted better and fresher than anything I've had at a restaurant. I will be making this a lot!

I scaled back to 4 servings. Used only a pinch of black pepper and fresh picked roma tomatoes. I love brie and this adds a wonderful flavor to this dish! The second time I made this pasta, I used penne, which made it easier to eat! Added fresh roma and heirloom tomatoes! Soooo Good!!

First five star rating I have given out on this site. Would I make this again? Yes Would I do it differently? Yes but only from time to time, maybe throw in some crumbled bacon or chopped polenta. Using brie in this format is ingenious. Beats mac and cheese by a mile.

This was terrific! I added the shrimp as suggested in another review and topped it with crumbled cooked bacon- YUM! The only fault I found was it was a little oily- definitley will cut it to 1/3 cup next time.

This is a great recipe. My husband and I have made this when having people round to dinner. It's so fast so we can easily make it after work. The only thing to change may be using less oil because with the cheese and oil it can get a bit greasy. But as a whole Beautiful dish!!!!

I love this recipe. I originally found it from a friend but recently saw it on here. I use the gemeli pasta instead. In the summer I use fresh tomatoes from Jersey but right now they arent in season so I used the diced can tomatoes and they work just as well. Delicious and very easy to make

I got a similar recipe from a newspaper. It's really good without the wine vinegar, just a little more olive oil and use rotini instead of fettuccini - it catches the flavors better. In addition, I used one wedge of regular brie and one herbed one. YUMMY!!! And if you are a garlic lover like me, add more!

I realize I am in the minority about how I feel re this recipe. Used very fresh ingredients (grow my own herbs). good brie and lots of garlic, but to us it did not have much taste. Perhaps we prefer pasta with a hot sauce and more creamy. Perhaps using pesto would be more to our liking. Anyway, it is not for us, unfortunately.

This recipe was okay. We followed it but had a few less tomatoes but I don't think that would make a difference. Using the same flavors, I much prefer"Tuscany Pasta Toss" from the Pillsbury website that tosses hot pasta with chopped tomatoes, garlic, basil, mushrooms, walnuts, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and blue cheese. There is no equal comparison between the two.
