    Why you'll love them

    • They're super-easy to make, with just a handful of ingredients, all basic and simple to find and use.
    • They're vegetarian and so delicious, with juicy oven-roasted cherry tomatoes and an incredibly creamy sauce.
    • They're perfect for any occasion: lunch on the go, a gourmet lazy dinner, a meal with friends, etc…

    Ingredients

    You can find a full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.

    • Garlic - if you want to choose your garlic carefully so you do not encourage the slavery of Chinese prisoners, read my Eco Tips on the subject.
    • Cherry tomatoes: they're in peak season from June to September included, so make the most of it!
    • Herbs: I recommend herbes de Provence and fresh basil.
    • Chilli flakes, which you can replace with a pinch of cayenne pepper if you can't find any.
    • A block of Boursin cheese: I recommend the shallot & chive version, which is perfect for this recipe. The "garlic & fine herbs" version can also be used, but I recommend adding ½ sliced red onion to the baking dish.
    • Pasta: I used Pipe Rigate, but you can use any type of pasta (Penne, Linguine, Papardelle, Tagliatelle, Orrechiette, etc.).

    Customize this recipe

    Feel free to modify this recipe to suit your tastes, and adapt it according to whether you want to make it a main course or a side dish. I suggest several options:

    • Protein: you can add chicken, salmon or even shrimp. Cook the proteins beforehand and add them at the end of the recipe.
    • Other vegetables: in addition to or instead of cherry tomatoes. Broccoli, button mushrooms, zucchinis, carrots, eggplants, butternut, leeks, etc… Adapt according to the season!
    • A salad to accompany the Boursin pasta.
    • Bread, like this Ciabatta bread, pita bread or cheese naan, for even more cheese!

    Chef's Tips

    Use pasta cooking water: save a little pasta cooking water to make the sauce a little creamier/liquid, depending on your taste.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What's Boursin cheese?

    It's a fresh French cheese made from cow's milk, with different flavors: shallot & chives, garlic & fine herbs (the best known), figs & 3 walnuts, black pepper or walnut trio.

    Can I make this Boursin pasta in advance?

    I recommend making them at the last minute, because they'll taste better. But as they can be kept for 4 days, yes, you can make them in advance. Just add one or two tablespoons of water before reheating, to obtain a creamy sauce.

    What's the best Boursin cheese to use for this recipe?

    I recommend the shallot & chives one. But the garlic & fine herbs one can also work, just add ½ sliced red onion to the baking dish.

    What other recipes can I use Boursin in?

    Spread it on toast, add it to a dip, add it to gnocchi, add it to lasagne, add it to soup to give it a bit of flavor, add it to grilled vegetables… In short, there are so many possible uses!

    Does Boursin cheese melt well?

    Yes, like oven-baked feta, it's a cheese that, when properly heated, crushes and blends with other ingredients to form a delicious and incredibly creamy sauce.

    Can it be heated?

    Yes, no problem at all! Just be sure to follow the temperature instructions in the recipe.

    Where can I find Boursin cheese?

    In almost all supermarkets, in the fromage frais section.

    Storage / freezing

    Once cold, place the Boursin pasta in an airtight container. Put them in your fridge and you'll be able to keep them for 4 days.

    The sauce may solidify a little after being in the fridge, so don't hesitate to add a tablespoon or two of water before reheating, for a creamy sauce.

    You can also freeze them: once cold, place them in a freezer bag on which you've written the name of the recipe and the date. Just pop them in the freezer.
