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
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- 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.
- Add spaghetti to water and cook according to package directions.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
Happy Valentine’s Day to all…I hope it’s a special day filled with love and joy…and a little romance!
