Equipment

  • Sheet pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Knife
  • Pan
  • Saucepan
  • Colander

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large wheel brie cheese
  • 300 g bacon
  • 100 g onions diced
  • fresh parsley
  • salt
  • 500 g spaghetti noodles

Instructions
 

  • Place the giant brie on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Measure about 1 inch in from the edge and make a shallow incision all the way around the cheese wheel. Cut and remove the "lid" with as wide a knife as possible.
  • Cut the bacon into thick strips and fry it in a pan. Add the diced onions and let them cook together.
  • Finely chop the parsley and add it to the pan. Mix everything well and evenly distribute the contents of the pan over the top of the cheese. Place the cheese lid back on the cheese wheel and cook at 320°F for 10 minutes.
  • While the cheese sizzles in the oven, bring plenty of water to a boil in a saucepan and add salt. Cook the spaghetti noodles according to the instructions on the package and then drain the noodles in a colander.
  • Pull back the cheese lid just before serving and the main course and side dish are ready to be eaten! Simply swirl some noodles around your fork, dip the pasta into the melted cheese, and let the result melt in your mouth!
