Brie - rich, creamy and irresistibly indulgent! This ‘brie-lliant’ soft French cheese melts beautifully into risottos, complements veggie tarts and adds a luscious, luxe touch to salads with its buttery texture and delicate, earthy flavour. It’s the perfect addition to this veggie-packed pasta bake, too! We’ve replaced the baby capsicum in this recipe with capsicum due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

  • Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat.
  • Cook penne in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes.

  • Add herb & mushroom seasoning and garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
Finish the pasta
