🌱 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 - Used to lightly grease the oven dish, ensuring the pasta doesn’t stick and bakes evenly.
- Boursin Cheese - For this recipe I've used the plant-based Boursin version available in the UK, bringing a creamy texture and rich flavor. Feel free to use whichever alternative you have to hand.
- Pasta - I like to use short-grain pasta for this recipe. Short-grain pasta works best as it cooks evenly and absorbs the sauce beautifully during baking.
- Tinned cherry tomatoes - Perfect for this recipe, adding a rich, slightly sweet flavor and convenient to use straight from the tin.
- Salt and black pepper - Essential for seasoning, added to taste to enhance the flavors of the dish.
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:
- Oven dish – Use a 20 cm x 30 cm (8 x 11 inches) 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.

This recipe is delicious and super simple to make as you will see from the steps below!
Step 1 - Preparation
Preheat your oven to 390°F (200°C). Lightly grease your oven dish with olive oil.
Step 2 - Assemble ingredients
Place the Boursin cheese in the center of the dish.
Add pasta around it and pour tinned cherry tomatoes on top.
Refill the empty tin with water, about ¾ full, and pour over the pasta. It should just about cover the pasta in the dish.
Step 3 - Bake the Dish
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the tomatoes are roasted and the pasta absorbs most of the liquid.
Step 4 - Stir and Season
Remove from the oven and stir everything to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve this Boursin Pasta Bake straight from the oven while it's hot and creamy. Pair it with a simple salad, some warm garlic bread or a piece of homemade Focaccia Bread. For extra flavor, sprinkle fresh basil or cracked black pepper on top.
It's best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be reheated for a quick and easy next-day dinner. Perfect for cozy nights or when you need a no-fuss dish!
❄️ Storage
Leftovers of this Boursin Pasta Bake can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Reheat gently in the oven or microwave, adding a splash of water if needed to bring back the creamy texture. Always serve hot for the best flavor.
Frequently Asked Questions - Boursin Pasta
I've used Boursin Plantbased for this recipe, but you can use any Boursin soft cheese with this recipe. You can also try other brands of soft cheese, but I have to admit that I've not tested the recipe with another brand. I would guess, that as long as it melts under heat, it should work out!
You can, but I find that the tinned cherry tomatoes give a wonderful roasted flavor and more interesting texture to the dish. If you can't find tinned ones or are simply out of stock, then definitely try this dish with tinned chopped tomatoes instead, it'll be delicious too!

Baked Boursin Pasta
Equipment
- 1 oven dish I used an oven 20 x 30 cm dish (8 x 11 inches)
- 1 oven
- 1 wooden spoon or spatula
Ingredients
- 1-2 teaspoon olive oil for greasing the oven dish
- 1 block Boursin Cheese I used the plant-based version
- 1 cup Fusilli pasta (150 g) or other short-grain pasta, I used whole wheat
- 1 14-oz tin cherry tomaotes (400 g)
- salt and pepper to taste to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 390°F (200°C) and lightly grease the oven dish with olive oil.
- Place the Boursin into the middle of the dish and surround it with the pasta.
- Pour the tinned cherry tomatoes on top. Refill the empty tin roughly ¾ with fresh water and add it to the oven dish covering the pasta.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is soft and partially melted.
- Remove from the oven and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula to combine.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
Notes
- Serving - Serve this Boursin Pasta Bake immediately after stirring for the creamiest texture and best flavor. Pair with a fresh salad, garlic bread or a piece of freshly baked focaccia bread.
- Storage - Allow leftovers to cool completely before storing. Place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
- Reheating - Reheat leftovers in the oven at a low temperature, adding a splash of water to restore the creamy consistency. Alternatively, use the microwave, stirring occasionally to heat evenly.
- Tips for Success - Use tinned cherry tomatoes for a richer flavor and better texture. Ensure the pasta is just covered with liquid before baking to achieve the perfect consistency. For a more indulgent experience, add a sprinkle of vegan parmesan before serving.
- No Pre-cooking Needed: You don't have to cook the pasta before adding it to the dish, which makes the whole process easier.
- Use the Right Cheese: Opt for plant-based Boursin cheese or any soft cheese of your choice. Ensure it melts well under heat.

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!
