Coming in hot with a pasta recipe today! Boursin Pasta is loaded with so much flavor! Call it a Boursin risotto or Boursin orzo if you’d like, but the fact is that it’s a delicious orzo recipe perfect for weeknight dinner. The orzo pasta simmers with chicken broth, a block of Boursin cheese, and a handful of baby spinach. Heck, you can even toss in a couple of cups of shredded rotisserie (or try my fauxtisserie) chicken. And what you’re left with is a pasta dish that the whole family will love! I’m sure you’ve tried the viral TikTok oven baked feta pasta, but have you tried one pot Boursin pasta? Guess what? You don’t even have to turn the oven on for it 😉
Ingredients for Boursin Cheese Pasta
Olive oil and butter: we’ll saute the onions in both ingredients before adding the fresh garlic and toast the orzo in the pan. Onions: Use white or yellow onions for this recipe. Either will do!Fresh Garlic cloves: You’ll need a few garlic cloves to really boost the garlic flavor from the garlic and herb cheese we’re using.Uncooked orzo pasta: Normally, we’d be boiling pasta to al dente in a large pot of salted water, but since this is a one pot recipe, we’ll do everything in the same pot. We’ll toast the orzo in butter, which gives it a delicious depth of flavor.Chicken stock or chicken broth: is the liquid portion of the recipe. This is what will blend with the Boursin cheese and create a sauce for our pasta dish.Boursin cheese: I like to use the garlic and herb variety for this recipe, but the shallots & chive kind would be equally delicious!Seasonings: I like to use a pinch of nutmeg to give it that cozy homemade flavor. You’ll also need kosher salt and white or black pepper. Feel free to play around with the seasonings. You can also add oregano, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, or even some dried basil.Baby Spinach: adds a nice pop of color to the dish, and it is a great way to fit in extra veggies to your diet!Half and half: adding a splash of half and half right at the end makes it extra creamy and delicious!
