Oh wow y’all. I’m always like a year behind on TikTok trends and I remember when this pasta dish was every other video on my fyp with people raving about it so I finally got around to making it last summer and omg, it was so good! I wanted to try it with something other than feta though, and had some Boursin cheese in my freezer. Bingo! This is the easiest dinner to make which is perfect for busy school nights with the kiddos!
It’s pretty simple, you need a box of pasta, cherry tomatoes, some spices, olive oil and your cheese.
Here’s how you make it
In a large baking dish, add your cheese right to the center of the dish. Sprinkle the cherry tomatoes around and add in a few sliced onions if you like.
For spices I used my favourites: garlic powder, onion powder, basil and a generous pinch of flaked sea salt and pepper. I have a heavy hand with seasonings, it’s about measuring with your heart. Drizzle with olive oil and mix up the veggies and spices (not the cheese).
Pop in the oven at 400° for 25 minutes or so. The cherry tomatoes should be burst and the cheese soft and melted. While that’s cooking, get your pasta ready. Reserve some of the pasta water before draining, I used just over 1/4 cup.
When the cheese dish is out of the oven, mix it all up, add the cooked pasta and mix well. Season if needed and enjoy!
I steamed some broccoli and cooked some chicken to add to the dish. It’s super versatile and you can mix and match pretty much any veggie into this.
I have a printable recipe card below for you, enjoy!
