Ingredients & Substitutions

Here’s what you’ll need to make this Baked Boursin Cheese Pasta recipe. Boursin Cheese Pasta Recipe Find the complete recipe with measurements in the recipe card below.

Farfalle pasta – also called bow tie pasta. You can substitute any short pasta that will “grab” the creamy sauce, like rotini or fusilli.

Boursin cheese – one 5.3oz package. We use the garlic & fine herbs variety, but you can experiment with other flavours!

Cherry tomatoes – or grape tomatoes- pair beautifully with Boursin to create an amazing sauce.

Red onion – for flavour and colour, but you can leave it out if you don’t love onions. You can also substitute shallots.

Garlic – because the garlic in the Boursin just isn’t enough (haha).

Olive oil

Oregano, kosher salt and ground black pepper

Fresh basil – optional, but highly recommended.

How to make it

First, preheat your oven to 400 °F and place the Boursin, tomatoes, onion, and garlic in a 9×13 baking dish. Drizzle olive oil over the tomatoes and add the oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss to ensure the veggies are evenly coated in oil and seasonings. Place the oven to bake for 25-30 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the pasta according to package instructions. Be sure to reserve half a cup of pasta cooking water to thin the sauce.

Once the tomatoes are bursting and onions are softened, stir the cheese and tomatoes together right in the casserole dish, squishing the tomatoes a bit as you go. Add sliced basil, if using, then add the cooked pasta to the cheese mixture and continue to mix until the pasta is gently coated in sauce. Slowly add a bit of the reserved pasta cooking water to thin the sauce, if needed.

Serve immediately, garnished with more fresh basil and Parmesan cheese. This Boursin pasta recipe pairs nicely with a simple green side salad. Enjoy!

Tips for success

Reserve the pasta cooking water. Try not to forget! Stirring in this starchy liquid helps the sauce come together, thinning it slightly and helping it stick to the pasta.

Choose a pasta variety that “grabs” the creamy sauce. Boursin Cheese Pasta Recipe I find short, textured pasta works best in this dish, rather than a longer pasta.

Don’t skip the fresh basil. It adds fresh flavour and beautiful colour to the dish. I highly recommend stirring sliced basil leaves into the sauce!

Can I add chicken to this recipe?

Absolutely! I added chicken to my Baked Feta Pasta, and it’s so delicious and easy to do. In short, you include chicken breasts in the casserole dish along with the cheese and tomatoes, and increase the cook time to ensure the chicken is fully cooked. See the Notes section in the recipe card below for detailed instructions.
