🌱 Ingredients & Notes
The ingredients for this Boursin Pasta Bake are super simple and nothing complicated is required to make this delicious dinner dish.
Here's everything you need:
Olive oil
Extra virgin olive oil lightly greases the casserole dish and adds extra flavor.
Boursin Cheese
Plant-based Boursin is a soft cheese that melts easily into the sauce and creates a rich, creamy texture that coats every piece of pasta.
Pasta
I like to use short-grain pasta for this recipe. Short pasta works best as it cooks evenly and absorbs the sauce beautifully during baking.
Canned cherry tomatoes
Canned cherry tomatoes create a rich tomato pasta sauce with plenty of sweetness and flavor. You can also use fresh tomatoes when in season.
For Serving:
- Fresh focaccia bread - A delicious side to pair with the creamy Boursin pasta for a complete meal!
Full measurements in the recipe card below.
🔪 Equipment:
- Baking dish - Use a 8 x 11 inches (20 cm x 30 cm) dish. This size is ideal for even cooking and holding the pasta, cheese, and liquid without overflowing.
- Oven - Preheat to 390°F (200°C) for optimal baking.
- Wooden spoon or spatula - Essential for mixing the pasta and sauce after baking. A non-metal tool prevents scratching the dish.

🧑🍳 How to Make Baked Boursin Pasta (Step-by-Step)
This pasta dish comes together in just a few simple steps.
Step 1 - Preparation
Preheat your oven to 390°F (200°C) and lightly grease your baking dish.
Step 2 - Prepare the dish
Place the block of Boursin cheese in the center of the dish. Add the pasta around it and pour canned cherry tomatoes on top.
Refill the empty can about ¾ full with water and pour it over the pasta, so the pasta is mostly covered.
Step 3 - Bake Pasta
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pasta is tender and cooked al dente and the tomatoes are roasted.
Step 4 - Stir Sauce
Remove from the oven. Give everything a really good stir until the cheese melts into a creamy cheese mixture that coats the pasta evenly. Season to taste.
🍽️ How to Serve
Serve this baked Boursin pasta straight from the oven while it’s hot and creamy. Top with fresh basil or fresh parsley before serving.
It pairs perfectly with a simple green salad, garlic bread, or fresh focaccia. For extra flavor, top with fresh basil or fresh parsley and serve with freshly cracked black pepper.
This creamy pasta bake is perfect for the whole family and makes an easy weeknight dinner.
❄️ Storing & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
To reheat, warm gently in the microwave or oven. Add a splash of water before reheating to loosen the creamy sauce.

A question: How much cheese is a block of Boursin cheese? I'll be making a homemade equivalent, so I need to figure out how much to use.
Thanks!
