How To Make Boursin Cheese Pasta Recipe – Step by Step

Pre-heat Oven to 375 degrees

1. Drizzle 1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil on the bottom of a large casserole dish. Add 3-4 pints of Cherry Tomatoes and three cloves of Chopped Garlic. You can add more garlic or less to your taste. Add 5-6 turns of Fresh Cracked Pepper. (I omitted Salt from the recipe and would recommend salting at the end if you need it at all)
2. Cut two Zucchini in half lengthwise and then cut into half moons. Mix the Zucchini with the Tomatoes and Drizzle 1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil over all the vegetables.
3. Place a whole Boursin Cheese in the middle. I pushed it down into the tomato mixture and drizzled olive oil.
4. Place in a preheated 375-degree oven and cook until the mixture is bubbling and the tomatoes are soft and bursting.
5. While the Tomatoes are cooking, bring a large pot of water to a boil and add one 12 oz. package of pasta. I used Barilla Gluten-Free Penne Pasta. Cook Pasta until al-dente. When the pasta was 3/4 cooked, I added 4 cups of Baby Spinach. Drain the pasta and spinach and pour them into a large serving bowl. Mix one Tablespoon of olive oil with the cooked pasta to keep it from sticking.
6. When the Tomato Boursin Mixture is done, please remove it from the oven and gently mix in the pasta. As pictured, I transferred this mixture to a large serving bowl and added a large handful of chopped fresh Basil. I used about 10 Basil leaves.
7. If you like this dish extra cheesy, prepare it with two whole Boursins, or alternately, you can add a cupful of grated Parmesan to the finished dish.

Instructions

1. Drizzle 1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil on the bottom of a 9×13 casserole dish. Add 3-4 pints of Cherry Tomatoes and three cloves of Chopped Garlic. You can more garlic or less to your taste. Add 5-6 turns of Fresh Cracked Pepper. (I omitted Salt from the recipe and would recommend salting at the end if you need it at all)
2. Cut two zucchini in half lengthwise and then cut into half moons. Mix the Zucchini with the Tomatoes and Drizzle 1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil over all the vegetables.
3. Place a whole Boursin Cheese in the middle. I pushed it down into the tomato mixture and drizzled olive oil. The original recipe called for two entire Boursin Cheeses, but I found one was perfect.
4. Place in a preheated 375-degree oven and cook until the mixture is bubbling and the tomatoes are soft and bursting, about 30-40 minutes. Check often.
5. While the Tomatoes are cooking, bring a large pot of water to a boil and add one 12 oz. package of pasta. I used Barilla Gluten Free Penne Pasta. Cook Pasta until al-dente. When the pasta was 3/4 cooked, I added 4 cups of Baby Spinach. Drain pasta and spinach and pour it into a large serving bowl. I always mix a teaspoon of olive oil with my cooked pasta to keep it from sticking.
6. When Tomato Boursin Mixture is done, remove it from the oven and gently mix in the pasta. As pictured, I transferred this mixture to a large serving bowl and added a large handful of chopped fresh Basil. I used about 10 Basil leaves.
7. Some people hold back some pasta water and add it to the mixture, but I found the tomatoes released enough juice to make the dish creamy.
