Boursin Cheese Pasta
A creamy, herby, baked pasta dish with juicy tomatoes and melty Boursin cheese. Pure comfort food made super simple.
Ingredients
- 1 round (5.2 ounces) garlic & fine herbs Boursin cheese
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 medium red onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 12 ounces uncooked bow tie pasta (farfalle)
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaves (optional)
- Freshly grated parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F: Grab your 9x13-inch baking dish—no need to grease. Just get it ready for all the tasty goodness coming up!
- Add cheese and veggies: Place the Boursin cheese right in the center of the dish. Surround it with cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and minced garlic.
- Drizzle and season: Pour olive oil evenly over everything. Sprinkle dried oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with a spoon to coat the veggies.
- Bake for 30 minutes: Slide the baking dish into the oven. Roast until tomatoes burst and cheese is soft and creamy—set a timer for 30 minutes.
- Boil pasta: While the dish bakes, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add bow tie pasta and cook until al dente, about 10–11 minutes.
- Combine everything: Carefully remove the dish from the oven. Stir the creamy cheese and veggies. Add the cooked pasta and sliced basil; mix until combined.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle freshly grated parmesan on top. Add more basil if you’d like. Serve warm and dig in while it’s creamy and fresh!
Notes
- Use room temperature Boursin for smooth mixing.
- Don’t overbake the cheese—it should melt, not brown.
- This dish tastes best fresh, but leftovers can be tasty too!
- Add a splash of milk when reheating to refresh the sauce.
- Great with a side salad or garlic bread!
