This creamy Boursin pasta is a staple in my kitchen when I need something delicious on the table in a hurry. The herb and garlic cheese creates a silky sauce that coats the noodles perfectly, while the tomatoes add a nice pop of sweetness.

I love tossing in a handful of fresh spinach right at the end to add some greens to the meal. It is a foolproof dinner that always feels like a treat, even on the busiest weeknights.

🧺 Ingredients

12 ounces of your favorite pasta
1 container of Boursin herb and garlic cheese
2 cups cherry tomatoes
3 cups fresh baby spinach
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and black pepper to taste
1/4 cup pasta water, reserved from boiling

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package directions.
2
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
3
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook them until they begin to soften and burst, which takes about 5 minutes.
4
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about one minute until fragrant.
5
Scoop out a little bit of the pasta water, then drain the rest of the noodles.
6
Add the block of Boursin cheese and the reserved pasta water to the skillet with the tomatoes.
7
Stir until the cheese melts into a smooth and creamy sauce.
8
Add the cooked pasta and the fresh spinach to the skillet.
9
Toss everything together until the spinach is wilted and the pasta is well coated in the sauce, then season with salt and pepper to taste.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. If the sauce thickens too much once chilled, just add a tiny splash of water or milk when reheating it on the stove. This pairs beautifully with a simple side salad or a piece of crusty bread.
