Garlic & Herb Boursin and Pasta

Looking for a creamy, flavorful pasta dish that comes together in less than 30 minutes? I've got you covered with this Garlic & Herb Boursin and Pasta recipe. Butter, garlic, fresh herbs, broth, and Boursin cheese create a rich, velvety sauce. Serve with your favorite pasta for a quick and easy meal.

Why You'll Love this Boursin and Pasta:

• Super quick and easy, ready in under 30 minutes with no fancy kitchen skills required.
• That sauce, ya'll! Boursin cheese melts to create a decadent sauce without the need for heavy cream.
• It's so easy to customize. This recipe is great as is, but you can add meat, extra veggies, or seasonings to suit your needs and taste!

Key Ingredients:

• Pasta: Use your favorite pasta for this recipe. Short-cut, noodles, even ravioli all work for this recipe.
• Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs Cheese: A brand of soft, creamy cheese that comes in various flavors. It comes in a small box and can usually be found in the deli section of most grocery stores.
• Butter, Broth, Onion, & Garlic: Used along with the cheese to create the sauce.
• Fresh Herbs: Finely chopped and added directly into the sauce for extra herby flavor. I used parsley and chives but you can use a blend of your favorite herbs.

Dietary Swaps:

• Gluten-Free: Use your favorite brand of gluten-free pasta. Boursin cheese is generally considered gluten-free, but as always double check the labels of all store bought ingredients.
• Dairy-Free: Boursin actually makes a dairy-free cheese! I have found it available at both Target and Whole Foods. Also, use a dairy-free butter or margarine for the sauce.
• Vegetarian: Use vegetable broth in the sauce.

Recipe Variations:

• Add meat or fish, such as sliced grilled chicken, steak, salmon, or shrimp.
• Add some veggies. Cherry tomatoes, a handful or spinach, or sliced mushrooms are all be great in this dish!
• Make it a bake. Follow the recipe as written, add pasta to a buttered casserole dish, top with grated cheese and breadcrumbs, and bake at 350F (176C) for 15-20 minutes until golden and bubbly.
• Try a different kind of Boursin cheese. Boursin comes in quite a few different flavors such as Black Truffle & Sea Salt, Rosemary & Black Garlic, or even Fig & Balsamic to name a few!

Tips & Notes:

• Reserve a bit of the salted pasta water! This will help thin out the sauce if needed.
• Use fresh herbs instead of dried. Herbs are one of the most prominent ingredients in this dish, so using fresh will give it a much better flavor and texture.

Storage & Reheating:

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat on the stovetop over medium heat, adding a splash of broth or water to loosen the sauce as needed.
