Spaghetti with Broccoli, Brie, and Walnuts

from Food Network

It's been a while since Geoff and I ate this one, but it's really good. The hardest part, for me, is cutting off the rind of the Brie.

1 pound spaghetti
3 T olive oil
2 bunches broccoli (about 1-1/4 lbs), cut into 1/2-inch florets
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound Brie, rind discarded, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped

To a large pot of salted, boiling water, add spaghetti and cook until al dente. Reserve 1/3 cup cooking liquid and drain pasta in colander. Return pasta to pot with reserved liquid.

While pasta is cooking, in a large heavy skillet heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook broccoli with salt, to taste, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about 30 seconds.

To pasta add broccoli mixture, Brie, and walnuts, tossing until cheese is just melted, and season with salt and pepper.

Why do you have to take the rind off? Does the brie get all gooey?

I have no idea. That's just what the recipe calls for.
