Boursin Cheese Pasta
Ingredients:
- A handful of cherry tomatoes
- 1 small shallot, sliced thinly
- 1-2 cloves of garlic, sliced thinly, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
- Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- ½ of a (5.2 oz) round of garlic and herb Boursin cheese
- 4 oz spaghetti noodles, cooked per instructions, reserving ¼ cup of cooking liquid
- 3 tbsp parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
How to Make Boursin Cheese Pasta:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare the tomatoes & cheese by placing the cherry tomatoes, shallot, and garlic in a small baking dish, drizzling with olive oil, and seasoning with crushed red pepper flakes, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Toss to coat evenly.
Add the Boursin ½ round to the baking dish, nuzzling it among the cherry tomatoes.
Roast the tomatoes & cheese for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti according to package directions in a large pot of well-salted water, reserving ¼ cup of the pasta cooking water for the sauce.
To serve, remove the baking dish from the oven and add the cooked pasta, parmesan cheese, and parsley to the cheese and tomatoes; add some of the cooking water; gently toss to coat evenly, then let it sit for a few minutes to thicken and coat the noodles.
Gently toss to coat evenly again. Taste the pasta and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste, if needed.
Serve immediately with fresh parmesan on the side. Enjoy.
