Equipment

  • Large pot for boiling pasta
  • Colander
  • Large pan for the sauce
  • Wooden spoon
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz bow tie or penne pasta
  • 5 oz Boursin Garlic & Herb cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream or plant-based alternative for vegan
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese optional
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional for heat

Instructions
 

  • **Cook the Pasta:**
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • **Sauté Garlic:**
  • In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • **Wilt the Spinach:**
  • Add the fresh spinach to the pan and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • **Make the Sauce:**
  • Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Add the Boursin cheese, stirring until the cheese melts and combines into a creamy sauce.
  • **Combine Pasta and Sauce:**
  • Add the drained pasta to the pan and toss until the pasta is fully coated in the creamy Boursin sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
  • **Serve:**
  • Garnish with Parmesan cheese, if using, and serve hot.

Notes

- You can swap out the spinach for other greens like kale or arugula.
- For added protein, grilled chicken or shrimp makes a great addition.
- For a lighter version, use half-and-half or plant-based cream.
