Two of my favorite splurge ingredients are Brie cheese and sundried tomatoes. Usually I buy both at Costco since that store offers the best price on these “gourmet” ingredients. Both flavors pack a lot of punch so you can stretch your ingredients investment over several meals.
This pasta is one of the easiest on the planet to make. It’s an upscale mac and cheese that takes just minutes to prepare.

Did you use sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil or the dried ones you can buy loose? This sounds delish. May be trying it tonight!
Jessica

Hi Ya’ll,
double check your ethnic grocery store…i found my fave brand of Brie for $2.00USD instead of in my tiny {Key Food} regular grocery store at $6.00USD.
Also {same ethnic store} I found a HUGE package of fave chocolates: Merci at the $15.00USD instead of the tiny packages in my CVS at $6.99USD.
Always pays to check out your Ethnic Grocery Stores 🙂
