Ingredients for the Boursin Cheese Baked Pasta

The magic of this dish lies in its simplicity. You don’t need a long list of items to create something delicious. Just a few well-chosen ingredients come together to make a creamy, cheesy, crowd-pleasing pasta bake.

• Pasta
• Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs Cheese
• Cherry Tomatoes
• Olive Oil
• Salt and Pepper
• Fresh Basil (optional)

How To Make the Boursin Cheese Baked Pasta

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a medium baking dish, add the whole cherry tomatoes and place the Boursin cheese right in the center. Drizzle everything with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Step 2: Bake to Perfection

Bake uncovered for about 25 minutes until the tomatoes burst and the cheese softens into a creamy pool of flavor.

Step 3: Cook the Pasta

While the cheese bakes, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta according to package instructions. Reserve a bit of pasta water before draining.

Step 4: Combine and Toss

Once the Boursin and tomatoes are ready, use a fork or spoon to mash and mix them together into a smooth sauce. Add in your cooked pasta and a splash of pasta water to loosen it up if needed. Stir well until everything is nicely coated.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Top with freshly torn basil if you like and serve warm. This dish is best enjoyed right out of the oven while it’s creamy and cozy.

How to Serve and Store Boursin Cheese Baked Pasta

This recipe generously feeds four people as a main dish or six as a side. It’s fantastic for family dinners or small gatherings. Serve it straight from the oven for maximum creaminess.

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove with a splash of milk or water to bring back the creamy texture.
