Scale
Ingredients
- 1 (16-ounce) package spaghetti
- 1 (24-ounce) jar marinara sauce
- 1 (5.2-ounce) package Boursin Cheese (Garlic and Fine Herbs or Basil and Chive flavor)
Instructions
- Cook the pasta: Prepare the spaghetti according to the package instructions in salted boiling water, cooking it until it is al dente but do not drain the water completely.
- Heat the marinara sauce: While the pasta cooks, pour the marinara sauce into a large skillet and warm it over medium heat until hot.
- Add and melt the Boursin cheese: Add the Boursin cheese to the warmed marinara sauce and use a spoon to break it up. Reduce heat to a simmer and stir continuously until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated into the sauce.
- Toss pasta with sauce: Once the pasta is al dente, use a pasta fork or tongs to transfer it directly from the water into the skillet with the sauce, letting any excess water drain off. Toss the pasta thoroughly to coat it evenly in the creamy sauce, and add additional salt if needed.
- Serve: Serve the pasta warm as either a satisfying entree or a flavorful side dish.
Notes
- Be sure not to drain all the pasta water completely—some moisture helps the sauce cling to the pasta better.
- You can customize the flavor by choosing your favorite Boursin cheese variety.
- For a richer flavor, garnish with fresh basil or grated Parmesan cheese.
- This recipe can be easily doubled for larger gatherings.
- Use gluten-free pasta if you want to make it gluten free.
