Ingredients

Scale

You’ll need these ingredients to make your Boursin Cheese Pasta:

  • 8 oz pasta (spaghetti, fettuccine, or penne works well)
  • 5 oz Boursin cheese (garlic & fine herbs flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup pasta cooking water (reserved from boiling pasta)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Cook the Pasta:

  1. Boil the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water and set it aside before draining the pasta.

Prepare the Boursin Sauce:

  1. Heat the Olive Oil: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the Boursin Cheese: Add the Boursin cheese to the pan, breaking it up with a spoon as it heats up. Stir occasionally until it begins to melt and become creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the Cream: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine with the melted cheese. Let it simmer for a few minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  4. Adjust Consistency: Add a little reserved pasta cooking water, a few tablespoons at a time, to achieve your desired sauce consistency. It should be smooth and creamy but not too thick.

Combine the Pasta and Sauce:

  1. Toss the Pasta: Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the Boursin sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly, ensuring every noodle is covered in the creamy sauce.
  2. Add Parmesan: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to toss until the cheese is melted and incorporated into the sauce.

Garnish and Serve:

  1. Garnish and Serve: Serve the pasta immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or basil for a pop of color and flavor.
