One Pot Baked Boursin Pasta (TikTok Style!)

If you’ve ever had Boursin cheese, you probably love it as much as I do – it’s a beautifully garlicky cheese that’s simultaneously crumbly and creamy, and intensely flavourful. And since pretty much nothing can beat cheesy pasta, I decided to make baked Boursin pasta with spinach and mushrooms – all cooked in one pan!

This one is seriously irresistible.

You might have seen baked pasta recipes on TikTok, where all the ingredients – including the uncooked pasta! – are added to a baking dish, and cooked in one go. My own baked feta mac and cheese follows the same method, as does this baked Boursin pasta!

This time, the pasta is combined with fresh spinach and mushrooms, and topped with an entire round of Boursin cheese. Then, you just stick it in the oven until the pasta is cooked, and the cheese is crispy and golden brown.

Mix it all together to produce the most incredible creamy, cheesy, garlicky baked pasta you’ve ever had. It really couldn’t be easier!

❤️ Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• This baked Boursin pasta needs just six ingredients! So it can be whipped up in no time at all.
• It’s a one pot recipe, with everything (even the uncooked pasta) cooked together in just one baking dish – so you don’t even need to do much washing up afterwards.
• The flavour of the crispy baked Boursin is so unbelievably good!
• You can swap the spinach and mushrooms for whatever vegetables you like, as long as they will bake nicely with no pre-cooking.

🥗 Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this recipe. You’ll also need a few cupboard staples, like salt and pepper. See the printable recipe card below for detailed ingredient quantities.

• Boursin cheese. There are different flavours available, especially in the last few years, but this recipe uses the original Garlic and Herb flavour. It’s my favourite by a long way!
• macaroni. You could try using other pasta shapes, but I find a small shape like macaroni works best, as it cooks more quickly than a larger type of pasta. Bigger pasta might struggle to cook well using this method.
• fresh spinach
• mushrooms
• garlic
• milk

Becca’s Top Tip

If you want to swap the spinach and mushrooms for different vegetables, make sure you choose something that will bake nicely while the pasta is cooking. Tomatoes, asparagus, sweetcorn, chopped peppers, etc. would all work nicely. I would avoid anything particularly hard, like carrots, which will need to cook for longer.

📋 Instructions

Here’s how to make this recipe – see below for the printable recipe with detailed ingredients and instructions.

Step 1: Add the spinach and mushrooms to a baking dish.

Step 2: Add some minced garlic, and scatter the macaroni over the top. Pour over the milk, nestling the pasta down into the milk as best you can.

Step 3: Top with a whole round of Boursin cheese, and sprinkle with some black pepper.

Step 4: Bake until the Boursin is nice and crispy, and the pasta is cooked.

Step 5: Break up the Boursin, and mix everything together thoroughly to create a creamy, garlicky sauce.

Becca’s Top Tip

If you can’t find Boursin cheese, you could use a block of feta for this recipe instead – just like in my baked feta mac and cheese.
