Recipe Recommendations

For this pasta recipe, we recommend opting for a smaller pasta shape that can contain the cheesiness. After testing this recipe a few times a few different ways, we have concluded the best pasta is a medium or small shell pasta. The rind is a personal preference whether you want to keep it on or take it off. We like to keep our rind on the brie because it creates some extra cheesy pockets. However, if you prefer all your cheese to be perfectly melted, then you should probably take the rind off.

We have also tried this recipe by using individual single serving ramekins as well as a larger 6-serving dish. If you decide to use ramekins, you are going to want to use a much smaller pasta such as Orzo or Tubettini. Additionally, you are going to want to use a larger size ramekin. In our opinion, using one large serving dish is the way to go. While the ramekins are a fun way to serve dinner, the cheese does not melt and mix as well in such a contained space. Check out some of our recommendations below for our suggestions on the best serving dishes and pasta brands to use.

I know what you’re thinking. Why am I going to buy this fancy pasta when I probably have some Ronzoni or Barilla brand laying around the kitchen? We are going to be writing a blog post soon about our new health discoveries, so stay tuned. But in the meantime, we will give you the short answer. The most popular pasta brands have a lot of health compromising ingredients. The pasta brands we have selected are made the way pasta should be: with just two ingredients, Durum Wheat Semolina and Water. Now you can eat pasta without the guilt and without the heavy feeling in your stomach. Trust us, it’s worth the extra dollar.

If you decide to use the ramekin method, make sure you opt for a larger ramekin size. We recommend at least a 10 ounce ramekin, like the one linked above.

If you decide to listen to our guidance and use one large serving dish, we suggest a glass baking dish. Ceramic is a good choice as well, but we personally enjoy glass casserole dishes more.

Now that you have all the proper materials to cook this recipe, let’s get started.
