Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat.

3. Drain the pasta in a colander, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water, and set aside.
4. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat for 1 minute until shimmering.
5. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly golden (tip: don’t let it brown or it’ll turn bitter).
6. Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until wilted and reduced in volume.
7. Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes.
8. Reduce the heat to low and add the Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese, stirring continuously until fully melted and smooth, about 2 minutes.
9. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until the sauce is creamy and well combined, about 1 minute.
10. Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the sauce, adding reserved pasta water 1/4 cup at a time if needed to reach a silky consistency (tip: the starch in the pasta water helps the sauce cling beautifully).

Boursin Cheese and Sundried Tomato Rotini
Ever had one of those days where you stare into the pantry, willing a gourmet meal to magically appear? Well, stop staring and start boiling, because this Boursin and sundried tomato rotini is the 20-minute magic trick you’ve been waiting for—creamy, tangy, and ridiculously easy to pull off.
Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 5 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
– 1 (5.2 oz) package Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese
– 12 oz rotini pasta
– 1/2 cup sundried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 1/4 cup reserved pasta water
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/4 tsp black pepper
– 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat.
2. Add the rotini pasta to the boiling water and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until al dente (taste a piece to ensure it’s tender but firm).
3. While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
4. Add 3 cloves minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly golden—be careful not to burn it, as burnt garlic turns bitter.
5. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped sundried tomatoes and cook for another 1 minute to warm them through.
6. Reduce the skillet heat to low and crumble the entire 5.2 oz package of Boursin cheese into the skillet, stirring until it melts into a smooth sauce, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Before draining the pasta, reserve 1/4 cup of the starchy pasta water using a measuring cup or ladle—this liquid gold will help emulsify the sauce.
8. Drain the pasta thoroughly in a colander, then immediately add it to the skillet with the sauce.
9. Pour the 1/4 cup reserved pasta water into the skillet and toss everything together vigorously for 1-2 minutes until the pasta is evenly coated and the sauce clings nicely.
10. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until fully incorporated.
11. Serve immediately while hot. Unbelievably creamy with a punch of garlicky-herb flavor from the Boursin, this dish gets a delightful chew from the al dente rotini and sweet-tangy bursts from the tomatoes. For a fun twist, top it with extra Parmesan and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, or pair it with a crisp green salad to balance the richness.

Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Instructions
1. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
2. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then rub them with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
3. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior has nice grill marks. Tip: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
4. While the chicken cooks, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to package directions until al dente, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
5. In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the Boursin cheese, heavy cream, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using).
6. Stir constantly for 3-4 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Tip: Keep the heat medium to prevent the cream from curdling.
7. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it’s incorporated and the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
8. Slice the rested chicken breasts into thin strips.
9. Add the drained fettuccine and sliced chicken to the skillet with the sauce, tossing gently to coat everything evenly. Tip: If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of pasta water to loosen it up.
10. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Rich, velvety sauce clings to every strand of pasta, with tender grilled chicken adding a smoky contrast. The Boursin infuses a punch of garlic and herbs that’s downright addictive—try serving it with a crisp green salad or garlic bread for a meal that’ll have everyone asking for seconds.

Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
2. Add the farfalle pasta to the boiling water and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until al dente (tip: test a piece by biting it—it should be tender but still have a slight firmness).
3. While the pasta cooks, dice the bacon into 1/2-inch pieces.
4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the bacon pieces.
5. Cook the bacon for 8–10 minutes, stirring frequently, until crispy and browned, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.
6. Drain the cooked pasta in a colander, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
7. In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add the Boursin cheese and butter, melting over medium-low heat for 2–3 minutes while stirring until smooth (tip: keep the heat low to prevent the cheese from separating).
8. Pour in the heavy cream and stir continuously for 1–2 minutes until the sauce is well combined and slightly thickened.
9. Add the cooked farfalle, crispy bacon, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to the skillet.
10. Toss everything together for 2–3 minutes over low heat, adding the reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time if needed to loosen the sauce (tip: the starch in the pasta water helps the sauce cling beautifully to the noodles).
11. Serve immediately while hot.
