I LOVE THIS RECIPE!! Its a fast pleaser. My mom hates brie but eats this pasta without a complaint. I have to sub goat brie for the real thing but its still just as great and no one knows if I don't say anything. And I have to add a meat, normally chicken breasts, cause if I don't dad has a cow. Thanks Tamera

This was excellent especially for how easy it was. It tasted gourmet with out all the work. As for those that thought it was bland, add more basil, salt, pepper and italian seasoning to taste as stewed italian tomatoes vary. My daughters, 2 and 4, loved it.

Quick and easy ... i cut the rind of the cheese, melted it in the micro first - then added to tomatoes.

Tasted nice. I don't understand why canned tomatoes (perhaps for emergency or winter camping?) so I used fresh tomatoes instead.

my husband and I really enjoyed this dish. after reading the comments about others having trouble with the cheese melted, I used the Alouette product of softened brie. I did heat 3 packages, until melted and then added the cooked bow tie pasta. I mis-read the recipe and used tomato sauce by Classico. Ladeled that on to the plate, tore fresh basil over it and then added the brie pasta with (my own addition of sauted shrimp) over the top it was delicious. a bit rich.

This recipe was a bit bland (even using fresh instead of canned tomatoes.) The brie clotted and the final product did not look particularly appetizing. My husband liked it, but our 2 dinner guests hardly touched theirs. It's a good weeknight recipe but I wouldn't recommend for a special occasion.

Hmmm...this one did not work at all for me, which is odd. I've cooked with Brie before, and I've never had it congeal into one big lump after melting until now.

GREAT- BUT WITH MODIFICATIONS. -Since you have to cut the skin off of the brie, use about 2x as much as is called for. Also, melt it in the microwave first to avoid curdling. -Use about half as much pasta as is called for, or however much you desire- but the recommended amount is waaaaay too much. -Season the canned tomatos to taste, or even add your own garden-fresh ones. Better produce makes better food. Other than that, it's a great idea and works out well. The brie loses its sometime too strong flavor while maintaining its signature sweetness. Well done! =D

This was good. I was surprised my family liked it. I didn't put as much Brie in the sauce. Just incase the taste was too strong for my family. I served the sauce on the bow tie pasta and sprinkled parm. cheese on top of that.

I found this to be rather blah. It's great in theory, but just blah in taste. I do like the idea of adding the Brie to my regular tomato sauce for a different flavor. Next time I will melt the brie in the microwave before adding to the sauce... the heat was too high and it curdled.

Ick. This was too sweet and the flavors just didn't work well together. The brie took forever to melt too. Even after simmering the tomatoes and brie for 45 minutes, it still wasn't all melted!

This was VERY easy and very much enjoyed by my all my dinner guests, including my vegetarian friend for whom it was chosen. I did add dried oregano and basil as I used all my fresh basil making pesto, and also added salt and pepper and about 3 pressed garlic cloves. Will definitely make again.

This was a quick and easy dish to make, and it was much more flavorful than I expected it to be - I love brie cheese so now I have a great excuse to work it into dinner!
