Ingredients
- 2 cups packed spinach roughly chopped
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups chopped mushrooms
- 3-4 garlic cloves
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- kosher salt and pepper to taste
- 2 Boursin cheese wheels
- 12 ounces pasta of your choice
- 1/2 tsp crushed chili flakes or to taste, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- In a large baking dish add the 2 cups packed spinach, 2 cups cherry tomatoes, 2 cups chopped mushrooms (sliced or chopped), and 3-4 garlic cloves (minced). Drizzle with the 1/4 cup olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, Kosher salt and pepper. Use your hands to toss everything and mix.
- Nestle the 2 Boursin cheese wheels into the veggies in the dish. Bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes or until the tomatoes burst and get soft.
- Meanwhile, cook the 12 ounces pasta of your choice in salted water according to package timing. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain.
- Once the cheese and veggies are done baking, use a fork and crush the cheese while hot; stir well with the veggies to create a creamy sauce.
- Add in the reserved pasta water and 1/2 tsp crushed chili flakes and stir to combine.
- Add the cooked pasta and toss to coat. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Use any pasta of your choice. You can opt for a high-protein pasta.
- Add in more of your favorite veggies.
- You may use frozen spinach. Just make sure you squeeze out extra liquid when thawed.
- Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- The recipe video I made was for a smaller amount to serve 4 instead of 6.
