Mushroom Boursin Pasta

Mushroom Boursin Pasta combines hearty mushrooms and creamy Boursin cheese in a delightful one-dish bake. The blend of garlic, herbs, and fresh spinach melds perfectly with the al dente pasta, creating a lusciously creamy sauce.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 pound mushrooms (such as cremini or white, sliced)
• 1 medium onion (thinly sliced)
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 8 cloves garlic (peeled)
• 1 package Boursin cheese (5.3 ounces, garlic and herbs)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• salt and pepper (to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 pound farfalle pasta (or any pasta of your choice)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Prep the oven:: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. 2Prepare the Garlic and Veggies:: In a large 9x13 inch baking dish, scatter the sliced mushrooms, thinly sliced onion, garlic cloves, and fresh spinach evenly. Then, break the Boursin cheese into chunks and distribute it evenly over the vegetables.
3. 3Drizzle and Season:: Pour olive oil over the vegetables and season with salt and pepper, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning.
4. 4Bake:: Put the baking dish in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, until the vegetables are tender, the garlic is roasted, and the cheese has melted into a creamy mixture. About halfway in, gently toss everything together.
5. 5Cook Pasta:: While your veggies bake, cook the farfalle pasta in boiling salted water as per the box's instructions. Reserve some pasta water before draining.
6. 6Combine All Together:: After baking, take the dish out of the oven. Stir everything together in the dish and with a fork mash the garlic cloves right in the pan. The cheese should combine with the roasted vegetables to create a creamy sauce.
7. 7Add in the Pasta:: Mix in the cooked pasta, ensuring it's well coated with the creamy vegetable and cheese mixture. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.
