Description
All you need is five simple ingredients and just 30 minutes for Baked Boursin Cheese Pasta with Sundried Tomatoes and Spinach. It’s a creamy, comforting recipe that packs maximum flavor with minimum fuss!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (7-oz.) jar julienned sun-dried tomatoes in oil
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 2 (5.2-oz.) packages Boursin Garlic and Fine Herbs cheese
- 12 oz. uncooked short pasta of choice
- 2 cups spinach
- Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
Instructions
- Step: Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Step: In a 13×9-inch baking pan, stir together the sun-dried tomatoes in oil with the cherry tomatoes.
- Step: Push the tomatoes to the side and place both rounds of Boursin cheese in the center of the pan.
- Step: Bake until the cheese has softened and the tomatoes are roasted, about 20 minutes.
- Step: While the cheese is baking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
- Step: Remove the baking pan from the oven and immediately stir the cheese together with the tomatoes and the spinach. (The cheese must still be hot to wilt the spinach.)
- Step: Stir in the drained pasta until well-combined. Top with grated Parmesan cheese and serve.
Notes
Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining to adjust sauce consistency if needed. Add fresh basil, oregano, or thyme for extra flavor. For a heartier meal, incorporate grilled chicken or garlicky shrimp.
