Ingredients

I am highlighting just the ones that need further explanation. The complete list is in the recipe card below.

Tomatoes – you’ll need cherry or grape tomatoes for this recipe. They are more flavorful than the larger tomatoes and will be easier to combine with the sauce once cooked. Oil – use high quality olive oil for that smooth, classic Italian flavor. Boursin garlic and fine herbs cheese – this soft cheese already brings a delicious blend of garlic and herbs. You can try other flavors or this cream cheese pasta instead. Garlic – use fresh for maximum garlic flavor. After roasting, it smashes easily with the tomatoes and cheese, adding a delicious punch to your dish! Pasta – feel free to use any of your favorite pasta, including gluten-free pasta. While any pasta shape will work, I prefer the short pasta shapes with ridges and grooves, like fusili, corkscrew, and rigatoni. Fresh spinach (optional) – I’m always looking for ways to veggie load recipes and baby spinach works really well in this pasta dish. You can even add broccoli, zucchini, asparagus, etc. If you do, be sure to roast alongside the tomatoes. Fresh basil – for brightness and a pop of color.

Serving Suggestions

Boursin pasta is delicious on its own, but you can elevate the dish with a few simple additions. Here are some ideas to take it to the next level:

Grilled chicken, shrimp, tofu, etc. for added protein. Side salad with a light vinaigrette to balance the rich flavors. Garlic bread or a crusty baguette to soak up the creamy sauce. Freshly grated Parmesan and cracked black pepper for a flavorful finishing touch.
