Description

This Boursin pasta recipe delivers a creamy, dreamy garlic herb delight in minutes! Perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner, this dish combines the rich flavor of Boursin cheese with perfectly cooked pasta. Customize with your favorite veggies and protein for a meal that’s both satisfying and impressive.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces pasta (penne, spaghetti, or your favorite shape)
  • 1 wheel (5.2 ounces) Boursin cheese, any flavor
  • 1/2 cup pasta water, reserved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Optional: cherry tomatoes, spinach, grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While the water is boiling, add your pasta to the pot and cook until al dente, which usually takes around 8-10 minutes.
  3. In the same pot (or a large bowl), add the Boursin cheese and a splash of the reserved pasta water. Stir until the cheese starts to melt and form a creamy sauce. Add more pasta water as needed to reach your desired consistency.
  4. Add the drained pasta to the Boursin sauce and toss to coat evenly. If using, stir in any additional ingredients like cherry tomatoes or spinach. Serve immediately and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, if desired.

Notes

  • Add Protein: Grilled chicken, shrimp, or sausage would be fantastic additions.
  • Spice it Up: A pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce can add a pleasant kick.
  • Vegetarian Options: Roasted vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or eggplant can enhance the dish.
  • Cheese Variations: Experiment with different flavors of Boursin cheese for a unique twist.
  • Make it Healthier: Use whole wheat pasta and add plenty of vegetables for a more nutritious meal.
