Creamy Boursin Pasta
Boursin Pasta recipe has been sweeping the Internet after gaining popularity amongst TikTok users looking for an easy pasta recipe to serve on a busy weeknight! And we totally agree that Boursin makes the most delicious and creamy sauce without having to use heavy cream or add much else than a cup of pasta water! What is more, Boursin pasta is a brilliant base recipe to add delicious extras to: we opted for sun-dried tomatoes and fresh herbs, but you can add a bunch of other veggies or proteins!
Ingredients
- 200 g pasta we used spaghetti
- 1 tablespoon odourless oil
- 1 red onion finely chopped
- 150 g Boursin cheese with garlic and fine herbs
- 50 g sundried tomatoes drained of oil and sliced into strips
- 5 g fresh parsley finely chopped
- 20 g parmesan finely grated
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta following the package directions.
- Whilst pasta cooks heat a tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan. Add the chopped onion and sautee on low heat for 5-6 minutes until the onion softens.
- Add the Boursin cheese and 150ml (⅔ cups) of starchy pasta water and stir for a couple of minutes with a wooden spoon to combine. The cheese should melt and turn into a thick sauce. Add more water to the cheese mixture if your sauce is too thick. Stir in sliced sundried tomatoes and parsley.
- Add the drained pasta and toss to coat in the Boursin sauce. Season with salt and black pepper if required.
- Serve with Parmesan and more parsley scattered on top!
