What kind of cheese is Boursin?

Boursin is made from cows milk and cream. The garlic herb variety also includes garlic, salt, white pepper, parsley and chives. It is so tasty and melts perfectly in this pasta.

What to serve with Boursin Pasta?

This meal is filling enough to not need side dishes, but it goes great with my Air Fryer Garlic Bread or a salad, like this Arugula Pear Salad and Classic Caesar paired with homemade Caesar Dressing with no anchovies .

This recipe is best served fresh, but it's still yummy as leftovers. Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Boil a large pot of water for the pasta. Once boiling, add in 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the pasta.
Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water in a bowl and set aside. Boil the pasta for 3 to 4 minutes less than the package recommendation for al dente pasta.
Transfer the strained pasta into a 9x13 casserole dish. Pour in 1/3 cup heavy cream, baby spinach, garlic, basil, and sun-dried tomatoes. Place the boursin cheese in the center of the casserole dish with 2 tablespoon slabs of butter on each side. Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove the casserole dish from the oven. Pour over 1/3 cup of remaining heavy cream, and the parmesan cheese.
Stir to combine ingredients. Add a few tablespoons of pasta water, if desired. Cover with aluminum foil once more and bake an additional 5 minutes.
Top with additional cheese, red pepper flakes, and/or basil if desired. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Use a 9x13 casserole dish to make stirring easy.
Cook the pasta 3 to 4 minutes less than al dente because they will continue to cook in the oven.
Save at least 1/2 cup of pasta water to help make the sauce creamier, if needed.
Shred the parmesan cheese fresh from a block finely for the best creamy melt.
Don't skip on the aluminum foil. This helps the pasta from drying out.
