Equipment
- Pasta Pot
- Spatula or wooden spoon
Ingredients
- 300 grams pasta
- 150 grams Boursin cheese
- 400 grams tin of cherry tomatoes or chopped tomatoes
- 2 red onions sliced
- 2 red peppers cut in 1 inch pieces
- 1 tsp olive oil
- handful fresh basil chopped or torn into pieces
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200℃/400℉
- Place the whole unwrapped Boursin cheese in the centre of a medium baking dish.
- Scatter the chopped pepper, courgette and sliced onions around the cheese, then pour over the tin of cherry tomatoes, including all the tomato juice.
- Sprinkle the whole dish with a pinch of salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil then bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, until the tomatoes are beginning to burst and the cheese is becoming golden on top.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta until al dente according to package instructions. Reserve a cup of cooking water before draining.
- Use a spatula or large spoon to mix the melted Boursin together with the tomatoes, peppers and onions to create a creamy sauce. Stir in the cooked pasta along with a couple tablespoons of pasta water and the fresh basil.
- Stir together until the pasta is evenly coated in sauce - you may need to add more pasta water to loosen the sauce.
