Boursin Cheese Pasta Recipe
Report
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 pasta
- ½ cup whipping cream
- 1 .5 ounce Boursin cheese we like fine herbs and garlic flavor, container
- 2 cup baby spinach packed
- salt to taste
- black 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Notes
- Note 1: While I like this best with short-shaped pasta, you can use any shape you want. Twirlable pasta works well, too.
- Note 2: If you want to use milk instead of cream you'll need to add a little flour to thicken the sauce.
- Note 3: Add some protein to make this more of a complete meal. I really like it with my Italian seasoning chicken. I slice it and serve it over top of the pasta.
- Note 4: I've stirred in some steamed broccoli instead of the spinach before and that also works well!
