Main Ingredients
- 200g spaghetti or linguine pasta
- 150g Boursin cheese (garlic and herb flavor)
- 1/4 cup cream or milk (60ml)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or 1 tbsp butter
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving some pasta water for later use.
- Melt the Boursin cheese: In a large pan over low heat, gently melt the Boursin cheese with a splash of cream or milk, stirring continuously until it forms a smooth and velvety sauce.
- Add seasoning and garlic: Stir in the minced garlic or garlic powder along with salt and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste to achieve the signature zesty, garlicky flavor.
- Combine pasta with sauce: Toss the drained pasta into the cheesy sauce, adding reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce and ensure every strand is luxuriously coated.
- Final touches: Finish by drizzling olive oil or adding a pat of butter. Add any extra herbs, sautéed vegetables, or proteins of your choice, then serve immediately.
Notes
- Reserve pasta water to adjust sauce consistency without diluting flavor.
- Melt Boursin cheese gently on low heat to avoid curdling and ensure smooth sauce.
- Fresh minced garlic brightens the flavor more than garlic powder.
- Do not overcook pasta; al dente pasta absorbs the sauce better and retains a nice texture.
- Using classic garlic and herb Boursin cheese is best for authentic flavor.
