Description
Boursin Cheese Pasta with Broccoli is a deliciously creamy dish that combines pasta, fresh broccoli, and Boursin garlic and herb cheese.
Ingredients
- 12 ounce pasta
- 3 cup broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 package (5.2 ounce) Boursin garlic and herb cheese
- 1 cup reserved pasta water
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt, to taste
- 2 tablespoon chopped parsley
Instructions
1. Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add your pasta and cook it according to the package instructions. Just three minutes before the pasta is done, toss in the broccoli florets.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant and golden.
3. Introduce the Boursin cheese and reserved pasta water into the skillet. Stir continuously until they transform into a creamy, smooth sauce.
4. Add the cooked pasta and broccoli to the skillet. Gently toss them in the sauce, ensuring each piece is coated.
5. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt. Adjust seasonings to your preference.
6. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

This dish pairs beautifully with a light salad or garlic bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
