A quick and easy one-pot pasta recipe featuring creamy, garlicky Boursin cheese for a cozy and comforting dinner with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces (225 g) pasta (penne or fusilli recommended)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk (can substitute almond milk)
  • 5 ounces (140 g) Boursin cheese (garlic & herb flavor recommended)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large deep skillet over medium heat until foamy but not browned (about 1-2 minutes).
  3. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly.
  4. Pour in 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth and 1 cup whole milk. Stir to combine.
  5. Add 8 ounces (225 g) of dry pasta directly into the pot, ensuring it is mostly submerged.
  6. Increase heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Then reduce heat to medium-low and cover with a lid.
  7. Cook pasta for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until pasta is al dente. Add more liquid if needed.
  8. Stir in the entire 5-ounce (140 g) tub of Boursin cheese until melted and creamy. Add more milk if sauce is too thick.
  9. Stir in 1/2 cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  10. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately while warm and creamy.

Notes

Keep stirring frequently to prevent pasta from sticking and ensure even cooking. Use room temperature Boursin cheese for smooth melting. Freshly grated Parmesan melts better and enhances flavor. Letting the pasta sit uncovered for a minute or two after cooking helps thicken the sauce if too runny. Variations include adding vegetables, swapping for gluten-free pasta, or adding proteins like chicken or shrimp.
