Summary

This baked bursting tomato boursin pasta is a simple, hands-off meal that requires only a few simple ingredients. instead of cooking the sauce over the stove, we roast fresh cherry tomatoes, onions, garlic, and creamy boursin cheese in the oven to make it not only easier but even more rich and flavorful!

Add the olive oil and tomato paste into an 8×8-inch baking dish and whisk the ingredients together. Trim the tip of the head of garlic so the cloves remain intact. Add the onion, salt, pepper, tomatoes, and garlic to the dish and toss all of the ingredients together until coated.

Tips and Warnings

  • We used garlic and chive Boursin cheese, but any flavor will work. You can replace the Boursin bricks with goat cheese logs if necessary.
  • You may not use all of the pasta water, use enough so the pasta sauce becomes thick and creamy.
