Key Ingredients
- 12 oz pasta penne, fettuccine, or your choice
- 5 oz Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Optional: 2 cups fresh spinach or cherry tomatoes
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Cooking Instructions
Cook Pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water. Cook pasta until al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain.
Prepare Sauce: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Incorporate Boursin: Add Boursin cheese and heavy cream to the skillet. Stir until the cheese melts into a smooth, creamy sauce. Gradually stir in the reserved pasta water to adjust the sauce's consistency.
Combine: Toss the cooked pasta in the sauce until fully coated. Stir in spinach or cherry tomatoes, if using, and cook for 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts or tomatoes soften slightly.
Finish & Serve: Sprinkle with grated parmesan and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or additional parmesan.
