Ingredients

  • ¾ (16 ounce) package orecchiette pasta
  • 1 teaspoon butter, or as needed
  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into thirds
  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 (8 ounce) wedge Brie cheese, cut into small chunks
  • ¼ cup bread crumbs

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook orecchietta pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer pasta to a casserole dish.

Step 3
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir asparagus in the melted butter until slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Spread asparagus over pasta layer.

Step 4
Pour cream over asparagus and pasta; season with salt and black pepper. Arrange Brie cheese chunks in the pasta mixture; sprinkle top with bread crumbs.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bread crumbs are lightly browned, 20 to 30 minutes.
