Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2
Place the block of Boursin cheese in the center of the baking dish.
3
Arrange the cherry tomatoes around the cheese.
4
Pour the dry pasta over and around the tomatoes and cheese.
5
Season everything with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
6
Pour the hot water over the pasta, trying to cover it as much as possible.
7
Gently stir and press the pasta down to ensure it is submerged in the water.
8
Bake for 30 minutes.
9
Remove the dish from the oven. Stir everything together thoroughly, breaking up the Boursin cheese and mashing some of the roasted tomatoes to create a creamy sauce.
10
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Use hot water directly from the kettle or microwave to ensure the pasta cooks evenly in the oven without requiring a separate boiling step.
Stir the pasta and sauce halfway through baking to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking and distribution of Boursin cheese.
Don't skip the Italian seasoning and garlic powder — they season both the pasta and the creamy sauce as it develops.
If adding rotisserie chicken or other protein, mix it in after the pasta is mostly cooked to prevent overcooking.

Substitutions

Boursin cheese → herb cream cheese mixed with minced garlic and dried Italian herbs (same amount)
Cherry tomatoes → diced Roma tomatoes or halved grape tomatoes (use 20 oz by weight)
Farfalle pasta → penne, rigatoni, or shells (same weight, 1 lb dry)
Rotisserie chicken → cooked Italian sausage, diced ham, or white beans (1 cup)

Storage & make-ahead

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a 350°F oven for 15–20 minutes with a splash of water if needed.

Common Questions

Can I use a different pasta shape?

Yes. Farfalle, penne, and rigatoni work well. Use the same amount by weight; cooking time may vary slightly depending on pasta thickness.

Do I need to boil the pasta first?

No. The pasta cooks directly in the baking dish as it absorbs the hot water and creates a creamy sauce with the Boursin cheese.

How do I store leftovers?

Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 15–20 minutes, adding a splash of water if the dish seems dry.

Can I add protein?

Yes. The recipe includes optional shredded rotisserie chicken. You can also add cooked sausage, diced ham, or canned white beans.

What if I don't have Boursin cheese?

Use cream cheese mixed with fresh herbs, or substitute with herbed goat cheese or a combination of Parmesan and butter with added garlic and Italian herbs.
