Description
This Boursin Cheese Baked Pasta is a creamy and delightful comfort food made with rigatoni, Boursin cheese, garlic, and roasted cherry tomatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 340g rigatoni pasta
- 150g Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese
- 120ml heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 200g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 50g grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or basil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cook the rigatoni pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water.
- In a baking dish, place the Boursin cheese in the center. Scatter halved cherry tomatoes and minced garlic around it. Drizzle with olive oil.
- Roast the dish for 20 minutes, until the cheese softens and tomatoes are blistered.
- Remove from oven and stir the melted cheese, tomatoes, and garlic together until creamy. Add the heavy cream and stir to combine. Optionally add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.
- Add the cooked pasta to the dish and mix until evenly coated.
- Sprinkle grated parmesan over the top. Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 10–15 minutes, until bubbly and golden on top.
- Garnish with chopped parsley or basil before serving. Serve warm.
