Equipment
- 1 large baking pan
- 1 large pot for cooking pasta
Ingredients
- 8 ounce pasta penne, rotini, or farfalle
- 2 pints cherry or grape tomatoes
- 1 small onion or shallots
- 4 cloves garlic smashed
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 1 block of boursin cheese Garlic and herbs or shallot and chives
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large baking dish, toss together cherry tomatoes, garlic, onion, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Nestle the Boursin cheese in the center of the dish.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the tomatoes are blistered and the Boursin is melted.
- While the dish bakes, cook your pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve some of the pasta water before draining.
- Once the Boursin mixture is melted, carefully remove it from the oven. Toss the cooked pasta with the roasted vegetables and Boursin, adding a splash or two of reserved pasta water to create a creamy sauce.
- Squeeze a lemon and garnish with fresh herbs (optional) and serve immediately.
Notes
- Reserve some pasta water to help thin out the sauce if needed.
- Don't overcook the garlic; it can turn bitter if it burns.
- Use room temperature Boursin for easier melting.
- For extra flavor, drizzle some olive oil over the pasta before serving.
