Boursin Pasta
Boursin Pasta is the ultimate low-effort, high-reward comfort food—baked with cherry tomatoes and creamy herb cheese, this dish delivers major flavor with minimal fuss.
Equipment
- Baking Dish
- Pot for Pasta
- Spoon or Spatula
Ingredients
- 10 oz cherry tomatoes
- 1 pack Boursin cheese Garlic & Fine Herbs flavor recommended (5.2 oz)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 8 oz pasta penne, fusilli, or your favorite shape
- fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place cherry tomatoes in a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Place the Boursin cheese in the center of the baking dish, nestled among the tomatoes. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the tomatoes blister and cheese is soft and melted.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water, then drain.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and stir the tomatoes and melted cheese together to create a creamy sauce.
- Add cooked pasta and a splash of pasta water to the sauce. Stir until everything is evenly coated and creamy.
- Top with fresh basil if desired and serve warm.
Notes
Use cream cheese with herbs as a substitute if Boursin isn’t available. Add veggies like spinach or zucchini, grilled protein, or red pepper flakes for heat. Gluten-free and vegan options also work with proper swaps.
