Busy Night? One-Pan Boursin Pasta Has You

Boursin pasta has saved me on more busy weeknights than I can count! Thanks to the Boursin cheese, the pasta sauce comes together so fast that nobody could guess how easy it was. My kids request this on the regular!

You can use any type of bite-size pasta that you like. And I'll often throw in some sautéed veggies, like asparagus or zucchini, or serve it with a side of steamed broccoli or a green salad. Our fresh baguettes are also always a winner served with Boursin pasta.

How to Make Boursin Cheese Pasta

Follow package instructions to cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain but make sure to keep the pasta water! Season chicken with salt and pepper, then cook in a skillet over medium heat with a little olive oil. Add chicken and cook until browned, turning once, until cooked through (165 degrees F). Move to a plate and rest for a few minutes before chopping into pieces.

Melt butter in a pan, then fry shallots for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low, then add 1 cup reserved pasta water, scraping up any browned bits. Whisk in Boursin cheese until melted and smooth.

Dump cooked pasta into sauce and toss evenly to coat. Add a splash of pasta water, if needed, to thin the sauce, then season with salt and pepper, if needed. Garnish with fresh parmesan and parsley, then serve this easy boursin pasta immediately with homemade breadsticks or garlic knots and a wedge salad or green beans!
