How To Make Great Boursin Pasta Recipe For Weeknights

Yesterday, I woke up to a comment from a stranger on the internet who told me I looked like a cow while I was planning to make the Boursin pasta recipe (Tiktok Pasta). It was about the same time that I dreaded summer because it meant actively avoiding things like pastas like French onion pasta in fear of eating too many carbs⁠ but somewhere along the way, I’ve realized that ⁠I feel my best when I allow myself to ENJOY the moment. ⁠When it comes to food, that means creating a beautiful dish using the BEST seasonal ingredients like cherry tomatoes and Boursin cheese. ⁠

I had some cherry tomatoes left from the farmer’s market that I didn’t want to waste so I figured it was a great opportunity to try the viral Boursin cheese pasta that’s all over social media. So, let’s take the detailed steps of this recipe and enjoy the pasta at home!

Things you will Need for this Boursin cheese Pasta

this …

• A box of Pasta: I am using Gigli-shaped pasta. Gigli pasta. Gigli means “lilies” in Italian. Its shape is like campanelle pasta. This shape of pasta holds the thick creamy sauce well. You can use any of your favorite pasta.
• Boursin cheese: Boursin is a type of soft cheese that is seasoned with herbs and flavors. This cheese will create a creamy sauce for your pasta. Boursin cheese will be easily available in local markets and superstores.
• Cherry tomatoes: Cherry tomatoes are tiny tomatoes that have a sweet tangy taste. These cherry tomatoes are a great choice for any tomato sauce pasta. We will roast these tomatoes because they will increase the taste of your Boursin tomato sauce pasta.
• Garlic: Garlic cloves are roasted with tomatoes as they will add a beautiful aroma to the pasta.
• Onion: We will roast the onion as well. The diced red onion will be the best choice for this recipe.
• Salt and pepper: Salt and pepper will enhance the flavors even more. You are free to change the quantity as desired.
• Olive oil: Olive oil will help the tomatoes and other veggies to roast well and absorb the flavors completely.
• Italian seasoning: Italian seasoning will add flavors to pasta.  Italian seasoning is also available in your local market and superstores. It is a blend of different spices and herbs.
• Basil leaves: Tear the basil leaves and roast them with your tomatoes and other veggies. Pasta with basil is delicious!
• For topping: Top your pasta with grated parmesan cheese for an extra creamy texture.

How to Make Baked Boursin Pasta Recipe

Step 1. Take a large rectangular oven dish and place the Boursin cheese in the middle of the dish. Place the cherry tomatoes, garlic cloves, torn basil leaves, and diced red onion in the oven dish.

Step 2. Pour olive oil into the ingredients in the dish and season it with some salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.

Step 3. Place the dish in the oven and bake it for about 20-25 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit or until the cheese is melted and tomatoes are roasted.

Step 4. While the dish is baking, boil your pasta according to package instructions or until al dente. I am using Gigli pasta, but you can use any of your favorite pasta. Drain the boiled pasta and set it aside.

Step 5. Grab the dish out of the oven once it’s done, stir everything, and mix it well until it turns creamy sauce. Combine the pasta and sauce and gently combine the pasta and sauce until the pasta is completely coated with sauce.

Step 6. Garnish your Boursin tomato pasta with some freshly grated parmesan cheese and serve it with some garlic bread or salad.

Expert Tips

• Always choose quality ingredients like fresh basil leaves, and fresh cherry tomatoes. The fresher veggies you choose the better it will taste.
• I recommend you choose Italian seasoning but if you don’t have any, you can use chili flakes as well.
• Adjust the baking time for roasting tomatoes. Keep an eye on the veggies and cheese being roasted. Bake until the tomatoes start bubbling.
• When you are mixing pasta and sauce add some pasta water to balance the consistency.
• Serve your pasta fresh right after tossing pasta with sauce because it tastes best fresh.
• You can add the spices and herbs of your choice. Fresh rosemary and oregano will also add the best flavors.

Make This Recipe Ahead of Time

Place the leftovers in an airtight container and store it in the fridge for 3 days. I don’t recommend you freeze the leftover pasta. Reheat your pasta in a microwave by adding some splash of water for about 1 minute or reheat it in the pan with some splash of water that will prevent the pasta from drying out.
