Baked Boursin Pasta

boursin cheese

🥗Healthier: cream cheese

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente; drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in cherry tomatoes and spinach; cook until spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes.

Add cooked pasta to the skillet; mix well to combine.

Incorporate boursin cheese, stirring until melted and creamy.

Season with salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, basil, and oregano; mix thoroughly.

Transfer the pasta mixture to a baking dish.

Top with grated parmesan and mozzarella cheese evenly across the surface.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
