Camembert Spaghetti 🧀🍝

A creamy, French-inspired pasta that takes about 15 minutes.

Ingredients — 2 servings

  • 200 g spaghetti
  • 120–150 g Camembert
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 100 ml cooking cream
  • ½ cup pasta water
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • Black pepper
  • Salt
  • Optional: thyme, parsley, walnuts, or a little Parmesan

Method

  1. Cook the spaghetti in salted water until al dente. Reserve ½ cup pasta water.
  2. Prepare the Camembert: remove most of the rind if you prefer a smoother sauce, then cut the cheese into pieces.
  3. Heat the olive oil or butter in a pan. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
  4. Add the cream and Camembert over low heat. Stir until the cheese melts into a creamy sauce.
  5. Add a splash of pasta water and stir until silky.
  6. Toss in the drained spaghetti. Add more pasta water as needed until the sauce coats the pasta beautifully.
  7. Finish with plenty of black pepper and, if you like, thyme.

Excellent upgrade: add sautéed mushrooms or caramelized onions. For a sharper Mediterranean touch, add a tiny amount of Dijon mustard and fresh thyme.
