Ingredients
- 12 oz pasta any type, but penne or spaghetti work great
- 8 oz Boursin cheese garlic & fine herbs or any variety
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Optional Add-ins
- 1/2 cup spinach fresh or frozen
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- Grilled chicken or shrimp for extra protein
- Crushed red pepper for a spicy kick
Instructions
Cooking the Pasta
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your pasta and cook according to the package directions, usually about 8-10 minutes, until al dente.
- Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining, and set the pasta aside.
Making the Boursin Sauce
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
- Stir in the Boursin cheese, breaking it up with your spoon, and cook for another 2 minutes until it starts to melt.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer for 5-7 minutes until it thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. You can also toss in the Parmesan cheese at this point for added flavor and creaminess.
Combining and Serving
- Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly. If the sauce seems too thick, you can add the reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
- Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired.
