• Olive oil, a suitable alternative being canola.
• – Fresh cloves are best.
• A sprinkle of garlic powder, a pinch of crushed red pepper to add some depth and heat, and a finishing touch of dried basil – or, if you prefer, the all-purpose convenience of Italian seasoning.
• The rich flavor profile of Boursin’s Garlic and Herb blend is a perfect complement to this delectable tomato pasta dish – its pungent notes harmonizing with the sweetness of the tomatoes.

What Is Boursin Cheese?

Boursin is a renowned brand of creamy, spreadable cheese originating from France. This tangy spread shares similarities with cream cheese, presenting a variety of flavors including the classic combination of garlic and herbs, as well as more nuanced options such as chives, shallots, and black pepper. I indulge in this tasty treat regularly by spreading it evenly across crackers. This delectable creamy Boursin pasta offers yet another mouthwatering opportunity to utilize this versatile cheese spread.

Pasta lovers rejoice! This incredibly simple yet mouthwatering recipe is a game-changer for even the most novice cooks. Here’s what to expect, and

• Tomatoes are added to a 9×13-inch casserole dish, where they’re tossed with a drizzle of olive oil and a blend of savory seasonings. Place two generous rounds of creamy Boursin cheese at the heart of the juicy tomatoes, allowing their rich flavors to meld together in perfect harmony.
• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), and bake the dish for 30-35 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and release their juices, filling the air with a sweet aroma. 

• While you’re at it, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and cook your pasta to the perfect al dente texture. Before draining the pasta, reserve approximately half a cup of the cooking liquid to utilize in subsequent steps. The excess moisture from cooking pasta adds a velvety texture to the final product.
• Combine the cooked pasta into the baking dish with the tomatoes, then gently fold everything together, adding a small amount of pasta cooking liquid if needed for creamy consistency. Savor this delightful dish, topped with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.

• When cooking pasta, consider adding two to three spoonfuls of salt to your boiling water, as this can elevate the flavor of your noodles. Don’t overlook the importance of reserving a half-cup of pasta water; this vital step adds an unparalleled depth of creaminess to your dish.
• Prepare a colorful medley of vegetables by chopping bell peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, and other garden favorites into bite-sized pieces. For optimal results, select vegetables that share similar cooking times to harmoniously sauté alongside the tomatoes and cheese. Why not explore the bold flavors of the Mediterranean by adding Kalamata olives, wilted spinach, and a sprinkle of fresh oregano?
• Add cooked protein simultaneously with the pasta to the baking dish. Consider using cooked shredded chicken or baked chicken breasts as protein alternatives, while steak bites and succulent shrimp – particularly when paired with the rich flavors of creamy shrimp tomato pasta – make for an irresistible combination.

Here’s a satisfying take on pasta, elevated by the creamy tang of Boursin cheese and the sweetness of fresh tomatoes – serve with a side of crispy garlic bread or knotted goodness for an undeniably filling meal. It’s equally delightful when paired with a refreshing salad dressed with zesty Greek flair, or alongside vibrant vegetables such as air-fried asparagus and roasted carrots. Savor a delectable opening course with our renowned bruschetta, followed by a decadent indulgence in our effortless chocolate lava cake.

• Storing leftover pasta in an airtight container and refrigerating it at 40°F (4°C) or below can keep it fresh for up to three days? 
• Reheating Boursin pasta is a straightforward process that can be accomplished through three common methods: microwave, oven, and stovetop. Replenish the noodles with a splash of water before reheating, then periodically stir to revitalize the sauce’s rich flavor.
