Here’s a simple, creamy, and flavorful way to make Boursin cheese pasta—perfect for a quick weeknight meal or indulgent comfort dish.
Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
- 200–250 g pasta (penne, fettuccine, or spaghetti)
- 100 g Boursin cheese (garlic & herb or your preferred flavor)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1–2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup cream or milk (optional for extra creaminess)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley or chives for garnish
- Grated Parmesan (optional)
Instructions
- Cook pasta: Boil pasta in salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
- Sauté aromatics: In a large pan, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent. Add garlic and cook 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
- Add Boursin: Lower the heat and stir in Boursin cheese until melted. Add cream or milk if you want a looser, creamier sauce.
- Combine pasta & sauce: Add drained pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat. Use reserved pasta water to adjust consistency.
- Season & serve: Season with salt and pepper, garnish with fresh parsley or chives, and sprinkle Parmesan if desired. Serve hot.
Optional Add-Ins
- Sautéed mushrooms or spinach
- Cherry tomatoes or roasted red peppers
- Cooked chicken, shrimp, or pancetta for protein
💡 Tip: Boursin melts quickly, so keep the heat moderate to avoid curdling.
