Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Let’s Make it Together

Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and add your chosen pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente.

Sauté Garlic: While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant but not browned—about 1 minute.

Add Boursin Cheese: Lower heat and stir in the boursin cheese until melted and creamy. The smell will make you weak at the knees!

Combine Pasta and Sauce: Drain your cooked pasta (reserve some water) and toss it directly into the skillet with the sauce. If it’s too thick, add reserved water gradually until desired consistency is reached.

Add Parmesan and Seasoning: Stir in freshly grated parmesan along with black pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly until everything is coated in cheesy goodness.

Serve and Enjoy!: Plate your creamy boursin cheese pasta immediately while it’s hot! Garnish with extra parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.
