Baked French Onion Boursin Pasta
Creamy baked French Onion Boursin Pasta combines oven-caramelized onions with rich, melty Boursin cheese for an easy, comforting, restaurant-quality dinner made at home!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds onions, thinly sliced
- 1 head garlic, peeled and cloves removed
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 10.6 ounces garlic herb Boursin cheese, two 5.3 ounce packages
- 1 pound penne pasta
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Add the onions and garlic cloves to a 9 x 13 casserole dish. Pour the olive oil over the onions, sprinkle with the salt, then toss to coat.
- Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover, snuggle the boursin cheese in the middle of the onions and bake for an additional 30 minutes uncovered.
- While the cheese bakes with the onions, bring a large pot of salted water to boil on the stove. Add the penne pasta and cook according to the package directions. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining the pasta.
- Once the onions and cheese come out of the oven, stir everything together, then stir in the cooked pasta and ½ cup of pasta water. Stir and add more pasta water until the dish reaches your desired consistency. Season with the black pepper and serve immediately.
Notes
- Store leftover pasta in an airtight container in the fridge. I recommend reheating it in the microwave, or on the stove, with a little bit of water or broth to prevent it from drying out.
