A wonderful pasta dish that is light yet incredibly satisfying.
Fresh lemon zest accompanied by cherry tomatoes, parsley, and basil are already winning ingredients in any pasta dish. Now add tossed spaghetti in baked brie cheese and you have a gourmet dish made in under 30 minutes!
Not to mention it looks so beautiful with all the colors from the fresh herbs, tomatoes, and lemon juice.
I like to shave on fresh lemon zest and aged Parmesan cheese for the topping.
