Ingredients
  

  • 2 pints Cherry tomatoes
  • 2 packages Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese (5.2 ounces each)
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup Extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 16 ounces Penne pasta
  • 2 cups Baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup Reserved pasta water
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
  • Grated parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a 9x13-inch baking dish, combine cherry tomatoes, Boursin cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Toss everything together to mix well before baking.
  • While the cheese and tomatoes bake, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Cook the penne pasta according to the package directions until al dente.
  • Remember to reserve ½ cup of pasta cooking water before draining the pasta.
  • Once the baking dish is out of the oven, gently smash the tomatoes and garlic with a fork.
  • Stir everything together to form a creamy sauce that combines the melted cheese and roasted tomatoes.

Combining the Ingredients

  • Add the cooked penne and chopped spinach to the baking dish.
  • Toss everything together well so the pasta is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
  • Stir in some of the reserved pasta water gradually to loosen the sauce to your desired consistency.

Final Seasoning and Serve

  • Taste the dish and adjust the seasonings if necessary.
  • Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately, topped with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use high-quality Boursin for the best taste.
  • Don't skip the pasta water for the perfect sauce consistency.
  • Preheat your oven for the best results.
  • Experiment with different greens or adjust the heat level to your liking.
