This Boursin Cheese Pasta is incredibly creamy, bursting with flavor, utterly decadent, and one of the easiest recipes you’ll ever encounter. It’s the perfect weeknight meal when you’re craving something comforting and delicious without spending hours in the kitchen.
Ingredients for Your Creamy Boursin Cheese Pasta
The best part about this recipe? You only need a handful of ingredients to create something truly magical. Chances are, you already have most of these staples in your refrigerator and pantry. Just grab some Boursin cheese and sweet cherry tomatoes, and you’re all set to embark on a culinary adventure.
For an added boost of nutrition, I like to include some steamed broccoli in this dish. But hey, if you’re not feeling the green vibes today, feel free to omit it entirely. No judgment here! The beauty of this recipe is its adaptability – you can easily customize it to suit your preferences and dietary needs. Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers. You can even add some protein like grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a more complete meal.
- Boursin Garlic and Fine Herb cheese: (You can find this at any grocery store in the deli section—don’t substitute this for anything because it truly makes the recipe!) Look for the original Garlic & Fine Herbs flavor for the best results.
- Cherry tomatoes: Use fresh, ripe cherry tomatoes for the best sweetness and flavor. Grape tomatoes also work well.
- Olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil adds a rich flavor and helps the tomatoes roast beautifully.
- Minced garlic: Freshly minced garlic is always best, but jarred minced garlic will also work in a pinch.
- Salt: Enhances the flavors of all the ingredients.
- Pepper: Adds a touch of spice and complexity.
- Oregano: Dried oregano complements the other herbs in the Boursin cheese.
- Ziti pasta (or any pasta): Ziti is a great choice for its tube shape, which holds the creamy sauce perfectly. However, feel free to use any pasta shape you prefer, such as penne, rigatoni, or even spaghetti.
- Steamed broccoli: (I used a frozen bag and microwave it.) Steamed broccoli adds a healthy dose of vitamins and fiber to the dish.
How to Make the Viral Boursin Cheese Pasta
Remember the baked feta pasta craze that swept the internet a few years ago? This Boursin Cheese Pasta follows a similar cooking method, making it incredibly simple and straightforward. It’s a one-pan wonder that requires minimal effort but delivers maximum flavor. The key is roasting the Boursin cheese and cherry tomatoes together until they become a creamy, luscious sauce that coats the pasta perfectly.
To begin, simply combine the Boursin cheese, cherry tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and seasonings in a baking dish. I recommend using a 9×13 inch baking dish or a similar large size. I personally love this pretty round one, but any oven-safe dish will do. Then, bake it in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 18 minutes, or until the cherry tomatoes burst and become softened. The aroma that fills your kitchen during this process is simply irresistible! Taking it out of the oven and stirring it together and mashing the tomatoes is incredibly satisfying.
While the cheese and tomatoes are roasting, cook your favorite pasta according to the package directions. Before you drain the pasta, be sure to reserve about ½ cup of the pasta water. This starchy liquid is the secret ingredient that will transform your sauce into a creamy, luxurious masterpiece. Adding the pasta water to the baking dish with the cheese and tomatoes will help create a rich and creamy sauce that perfectly clings to your pasta, all thanks to the starch in the pasta water. Trust me, don’t skip this step! It makes all the difference.
Once the pasta is cooked and the sauce is ready, simply add the cooked pasta and steamed broccoli to the baking dish. Combine everything thoroughly, ensuring that the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy Boursin cheese sauce. And that’s it! Your Boursin Cheese Pasta is ready to be served and enjoyed. I guarantee you’re going to absolutely love this dish! It’s the perfect combination of creamy, cheesy, and flavorful, with a hint of freshness from the cherry tomatoes and broccoli.
Feel free to garnish with fresh basil or parsley for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal. Serve it hot and enjoy every single bite! This Boursin Cheese Pasta is sure to become a new family favorite.
This dish is so versatile! You can easily adapt it to your liking. Add some red pepper flakes for a touch of heat, or some lemon zest for a burst of brightness. Experiment with different herbs and spices to create your own unique flavor profile. The possibilities are endless!
This recipe is perfect for busy weeknights when you need a quick and easy meal that’s still satisfying and delicious. It’s also a great option for potlucks or gatherings, as it’s always a crowd-pleaser. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to experience the magic of Boursin Cheese Pasta!
