To take your Boursin chicken pasta to the next level, consider these helpful tips:
– While penne and fusilli work wonderfully, you can experiment with other short, tube-shaped pasta varieties like rigatoni or orecchiette.
– For an extra pop of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of dried Italian herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice to the dish.
– Leftover Boursin chicken pasta can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. When reheating, add a splash of milk or cream to help rehydrate the sauce.
