  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Primary Ingredients

  • 250g dry pasta (shells or any pasta shape)
  • 1 package (150g) Boursin herb and garlic cheese
  • 2 pints cherry or grape tomatoes (any color, approx. 4 cups)
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the tomatoes and cheese.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: In an 8×12-inch baking dish, combine the cherry or grape tomatoes, olive oil, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix gently to coat the tomatoes evenly.
  3. Add Boursin Cheese: Make a well in the center of the tomatoes and place the entire package of Boursin herb and garlic cheese inside.
  4. Bake the Mixture: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and the cheese to melt.
  5. Cook Pasta: While the tomatoes and cheese are roasting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain the pasta thoroughly.
  6. Broil for Browning: After the 30 minutes of baking, switch your oven to the broiler setting on high. Broil the tomato and cheese mixture for about 2 minutes or until the tops are light golden brown.
  7. Combine Ingredients: Remove the baking dish from the oven, stir in the chopped garlic and fresh parsley, then add the cooked pasta. Mix well to coat the pasta evenly with the creamy tomato and cheese sauce.
  8. Serve: Optionally, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the top before serving for an added cheesy finish.

Notes

  • You can use any pasta shape, but shells or similar shapes work best to hold the sauce.
  • Adjust salt to taste, especially if using Parmesan cheese on top.
  • For a spicier twist, add a pinch of red pepper flakes before baking.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days and can be reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
  • Use fresh herbs like basil as an alternative or in addition to parsley for varied flavor.
