Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 packs Boursin Cheese 5.2-ounce each, any flavor
- 4 cups cherry tomatoes
- 10 cloves garlic
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt for tomatoes
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt for pasta water
- 1 pound rigatoni
- 0.5 cup fresh basil chopped
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place both packs of Boursin Cheese near the center of the baking dish (with some space between them) and scatter the tomatoes and garlic all around them. Drizzle everything with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the tomatoes have blistered and the cheese is just starting to turn golden brown. Remove the baking dish from the oven.
- While the cheese and tomatoes are baking, bring a large pot of water to a boil and add one teaspoon of salt along with the pasta. Boil the pasta until al dente, according to the package’s instructions. Drain and reserve one cup of pasta water.
- Add the cooked pasta and basil to the baking dish and toss to coat the pasta in the cheesy, tomatoey sauce. If needed, use reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce. Serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, use whole cherry tomatoes and avoid overcrowding the baking dish to ensure even blistering. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
