Easy Peasy Pasta
Okay I admit it, now and then I do enjoy scrolling aimlessly through social media sites - the recipes, the home decor, the fashion - it’s all fun to discover and be inspired.
When I came upon the recipe for this pasta, where the prep is absolutely minimum, and the results looked sinfully good, I just knew I had to try it.
If you’d like to prepare a fast and delicious hot lunch I highly recommend you do the same!
TIKTOK BOURSIN CHEESE AND TOMATO PASTA RECIPE
Serves two for lunch with leftovers.
INGREDIENTS
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes
1 medium red onion - roughly chopped
5-7 cloves garlic (I chopped my garlic finely)
1⁄2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 package Boursin cheese - any variety - (I used Basil and Chives)
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper - to taste
8 ounces dry pasta
3-4 leaves fresh basil - torn (optional)
Stir it up!
Smells so good when baking.
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 425°F
Spread tomatoes, onion, and garlic cloves evenly in a medium baking dish. Unwrap Boursin cheese and place in center of dish, surrounded by other ingredients.
Drizzle liberally with olive oil, sprinkle with red pepper flakes, and add salt and pepper to taste.
Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions, reserving 1⁄2 cup of pasta water.
Immediately after removing from oven, toss in basil and use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir the roasted mixture, evenly distributing cheese and olive oil over the rest of the ingredients. Add in reserved pasta water as needed to create a creamier consistency.
Stir in cooked pasta and serve immediately.
