Creamiest Boursin Cheese Pasta (stovetop recipe)
Recipe video below. This recipe is a stovetop version of the viral TikTok Boursin cheese pasta. But my version is easier to whip up and, dare I say, even better in flavor! You don't even need to turn your oven on for this velvety, dreamy pasta dish. Get ready to impress with minimal effort!
Ingredients
- 8 ounces short-shaped pasta
- ½ cup whipping cream
- 1 5.5 ounce container Boursin cheese, I like fine herbs and garlic flavor
- 2 cup baby spinach, packed
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Place a large pot of well-salted water on high heat. When it comes to a boil, add the pasta and cook according to the package directions. Remove 1 cup of the cooking water (a Pyrex measuring cup works well for this), and then strain the pasta and put it back into the cooking pot.8 ounces short-shaped pasta
- While the water boils, make the sauce. Add the whipping cream and Boursin to a small pan over medium heat. Whisk until the cheese melts into the cream.½ cup whipping cream, 1 5.5 ounce container Boursin cheese
- Add the spinach to the cooked pasta, pour the sauce over top, and stir well. Slowly pour in the reserved cooking water, a few tablespoons at a time, until the sauce is super creamy - you won't add all of the water. Season to taste with salt and pepper.2 cup baby spinach, Salt and pepper
Notes
Pasta: While I like this best with short-shaped pasta, you can use any shape you want. Twirlable pasta works well, too.
Milk: If you use milk instead of cream, you'll need to add a little flour to thicken the sauce.
Spinach: I've stirred in some steamed broccoli instead of the spinach, which also works well!
