Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 teaspoon olive oil for greasing the baking dish
  • 1 block Boursin Cheese I used the plant-based version
  • 1 cup Fusilli pasta (150 g) or other short-grain pasta, I used whole wheat
  • 1 14-oz can cherry tomaotes (400 g)
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
  2. Place the Boursin in the center of the dish and surround it with the pasta.
  3. Pour the canned cherry tomatoes over the ingredients, then fill the empty can three-quarters full with fresh water and add it to the dish to cover the pasta.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is soft and partially melted.
  5. Remove the dish from the oven and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula to combine.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Serving - Serve this Boursin Pasta Bake immediately after stirring for the creamiest texture and best flavor.  Pair with a fresh salad, garlic bread or a piece of freshly baked focaccia bread.
  • Storage - Allow leftovers to cool completely before storing. Place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
  • Reheating - Reheat leftovers in the oven at a low temperature, adding a splash of water to restore the creamy consistency. Alternatively, use the microwave, stirring occasionally to heat evenly.
  • Tips for Success - Use canned cherry tomatoes for a richer flavor and better texture. Ensure the pasta is just covered with liquid before baking to achieve the perfect consistency. For a more indulgent experience, add a sprinkle of vegan parmesan before serving.
  • No Pre-cooking Needed: You don't have to cook the pasta before adding it to the dish, which makes the whole process easier.
  • Use the Right Cheese: Opt for plant-based Boursin cheese or any soft cheese of your choice. Ensure it melts well under heat.
