This Creamy Boursin And Tomato Pasta Couldn't Be Easier To Make - Tasting Table

Boursin cheese can be transformed into a decadent pasta sauce by baking it with cherry tomatoes, olive oil, and minced garlic. A full block of Boursin is placed in the center of a deep baking dish, with a carton of cherry tomatoes poured around it. Olive oil and minced garlic are drizzled and seasoned over the tomatoes and cheese, then the tomatoes are stirred for even coating. The dish is baked at 400°F for about half an hour until tomatoes are roasted. Pasta is cooked until al dente, drained, and stirred into the melted cheese and tomatoes to create a creamy sauce. Roasted tomatoes and garlic add sweet, umami-rich flavor balanced by Boursin’s tangy richness.

"Boursin cheese is the creamy, decadent soft cheese that makes for a fancy snack or dinner party appetizer all on its own. But you can also take Boursin cheese in many flavorful directions by transforming it into anything from dips to stuffings. You can add Boursin cheese to your breakfast omelet or use it to stuff chicken breasts, for example. And now, you can add pasta sauce to your list of creative uses for Boursin cheese."

"Add a full block of Boursin cheese to the center of a deep baking dish, pouring a carton of cherry tomatoes around it. Then drizzle olive oil and sprinkle minced garlic and any seasonings you want over the tomatoes and cheese, using a spoon or spatula to stir the tomatoes for an even coating of oil and aromatics. Bake the dish in the oven for half an hour at 400 degrees Fahrenheit or until the tomatoes are nice and roasted."

"While the cheese and tomatoes roast, you can add your favorite shape of pasta to a boiling pot to cook until al dente and drain. The Boursin cheese and soft roasted tomatoes will disintegrate into a lusciously creamy sauce with a quick stir, ready to receive the freshly cooked and drained pasta you have standing by. Boursin is slightly tangy and rich, while the roasted tomatoes and garlic bring a sweet, umami-rich flavor to the mix."

"The soft, spreadable Boursin cheese melts into a creamy, rich pasta sauce with balanced acidity from the tomatoes, along with sweet and savory notes that roasting veggies and aromatics impart. But you don't have to stop there. You can upgrade this simple sauce with all types of ingredients, from seasonings to proteins. The simplest way to upgrade this sauce is by switching up Boursin flavors."
