Description

A super simple pasta dinner of tomatoes and Boursin cheese baked in the oven. Minimal effort but maximum taste!


Ingredients

  • 500g cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 tbsp oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 150g Boursin cheese
  • handful of fresh basil
  • 350g dried pasta

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200c fan.
  2. Add the whole cherry tomatoes to an oven dish along with the olive oil and a little salt and pepper and mix well.
  3. Add the Boursin cheese to the middle of the dish and top with fresh basil.
  4. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
  5. In the meantime cook the pasta on the hob according to the package instructions.
  6. When the pasta is cooked but before you drain it, remove a little of the pasta water and set it aside.
  7. Remove the dish from the oven and blend the sauce until smooth. You can either blend it directly in the dish with a hand blender or transfer to a stand blender.
  8. Add a little of the pasta water to get the sauce to a smooth consistency.
  9. Add in the drained pasta and mix well.

Notes

This pasta is best eaten immediately after cooking although leftovers can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated in the microwave.
