Description

This creamy Boursin Mac and Cheese is a delightful twist on a classic comfort food, featuring a rich and flavorful sauce made with Garlic & Herb Boursin cheese blended into evaporated milk. The sauce perfectly coats al dente fusilli pasta, creating a luscious and satisfying dish that’s easy to prepare and full of savory depth.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 12 oz. fusilli corti bucati or other short pasta
  • 1 (12-oz.) can evaporated milk (1½ cups)
  • 2 (5.3-oz.) packages Garlic & Herb Boursin cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the fusilli pasta, stirring occasionally, until it reaches an al dente texture as per package instructions. Reserve ½ cup of the pasta cooking water before draining the pasta.
  2. Prepare the Cheese Sauce: While the pasta cooks, heat the evaporated milk in a large saucepan over medium-low heat until it begins to simmer. Add the Garlic & Herb Boursin packages to the milk and stir continuously until the cheese has completely melted and incorporated, forming a smooth sauce. Continue simmering for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce becomes slightly thickened and glossy. Season the sauce with ½ teaspoon of kosher salt.
  3. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the drained pasta to the cheese sauce along with a splash of the reserved pasta water. Gently stir over medium-low heat, adding additional pasta water as needed to ensure the sauce evenly coats the pasta. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt if necessary. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Reserve pasta water to adjust sauce consistency as it helps the sauce cling to the pasta better.
  • Use fusilli or another short pasta to allow the sauce to cling in the grooves.
  • Simmer the sauce gently to prevent scorching and achieve a smooth texture.
  • For a lighter version, consider using low-fat evaporated milk, but note the sauce may be less rich.
  • This recipe can be customized by adding cooked vegetables or proteins for more variety.
