We added halved cherry tomatoes and some extra brie to this. My husband really liked it, but I thought it was a bit bland...Maybe next time we'll add some extra spices to give it more flavor.

This recipe was amazing! I would have given it 5 starts but I made some additions based on other reviewers comments. I fried the bacon in the olive oil instead of adding it at the end. Then I took the bacon out, browned the garlic and threw spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms and italian seasoning into the pan. Then I added the brie to the pan and it melted nicely. I tossed the whole thing with the linguine. mmmmm!

I've never made anything like this before so I dont know if its supposed to be this oily or if I just used too much olive oil/brie cheese. I added tomatoes and mushrooms. I really like this recipe because its quick to make, and you dont necessarily have to measure all ingredients-you can just throw in how much you like, and you dont necessarily have to have all the ingredients in order to make it. I make a lot on the weekend and keep it during the week.

This is a really simple, delicious recipe that I've tried many times, but never the same way. It's so easy to add what you like and take away anything you don't without ruining the flavor! Thanks.

the recipe should say to remove rind from the brie before you cube it. I have a recipe similar to this that uses southwestern seasoning, (chili powder, Mexican oregano, ground chipotle, paprika, ground cumin)and fresh chopped basil and parsely. I think that would eliminate any blandness. Throwing in some pinenuts for texture would be nice too.

This was a good base recipe. I added mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, crushed red pepper, italian seasoning and garlic salt (because of all the "no-flavor" comments). It turned out to be a really tasty dish that I'll definitely make again!

Sorry, my family did not care for this at all. I followed the recipe as written - with only the addition of a chopped tomato as suggested by another reviewer. I found it to be very bland. We love brie - so I was excited about using it in a pasta dish having never done so. But, it quickly melted down once added, and there was really no trace of it that could be tasted on the linguine. The only indication of it was the little pieces of skin, which was just sort of strange. I love all of the individual ingredients - but this is missing something. Perhaps more of a pesto instead of plain olive oil - and small chunks of brie sprinkled on top of each serving instead of mixing it in.

No flavor at all. I added tomato, shirmp, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt. Very bland, but thanks for sharing your recipe:)

Very good! I felt something was missing, though... maybe chopped tomato? I added more spinach (an entire 6 oz bag) and a bit more brie. I didn't use but maybe a dash of olive oil, because the bacon grease made it very moist. Super easy and very nice.

This was great. I added the cheese to the spinach in pan to make sure it melted and it worked great. Also seasoned with parm. cheese. Will make again. Very easy.
