Ingredients

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

Instructions

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.
  • Pro Tips
  • Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or sautéed mushrooms for added protein and flavor.
  • Use gluten-free pasta for a dietary-friendly option.
  • Pair with a side of crusty garlic bread and a crisp salad for a complete meal.
