Ingredients

Creamy Boursin and Tomato Pasta
  • 12 ounces spaghetti
  • 6 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Olive oil for sautéing tomatoes and garlic
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1 - 5.2 ounce package Boursin Cheese
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Cherry tomatoes, halved for garnish
  • Parmesan cheese to grate over pasta

Instructions

Make the pasta
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. Preheat a large skillet and add a drizzle of olive oil (several tablespoons) to the skillet. Sauté garlic for about a minute but do not brown. Add tomatoes and cook over medium heat until the tomatoes start to break down.
  3. Add spaghetti to water and cook according to package directions.
  4. Continue to stir the tomatoes and add 1/2 cup white wine. When all of the tomatoes have gotten soft and you have a nice sauce (see video), add the Boursin cheese. Stir until the cheese has melted and you have a creamy tomato sauce. Add fresh basil and stir to combine.
  5. When pasta is al dente, using tongs, place pasta in the skillet (you may not use all of the pasta). Stir to coat pasta with tomato sauce.
  6. Place the pasta on a plate, top with more fresh basil and a few halved cherry tomatoes and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Pour a glass of wine and enjoy!
