Ingredients
- 4 ounces dry spaghetti
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ¾ cup fresh cherry tomatoes 12 pieces then cut in half
- 1 Boursin cheese (150 grams) ail and fine herbes
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley reserve some for garnish
OTHER:
- water for boiling spaghetti
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Boil dry spaghetti according package, drain, and reserve ½ cup or more of pasta water for later.
- In a skillet, add oil and butter, then heat the pan at 248°F (120°C). Add the cherry tomatoes once the butter is melted and sauté until the skin of the tomatoes begin to blister, about 3 minutes.
- Lower the heat to 140°F (60°C) and transfer the tomatoes to a bowl.
- In the same skillet with butter, pour ½ reserved pasta water, and add Boursin cheese. Stir cheese until melted and well-combined with the butter while simmering over low heat for 3 minutes.
- Add parsley and cooked spaghetti, then coat the spaghetti with the Boursin cheese while gently stirring for 2 minutes.
- Return the tomatoes into the skillet and give a gentle toss for 1 minute or until heated through.
- Turn off the heat, sprinkle with the remaining fresh parsley and serve.
Notes
Use freshly bought and unexpired Boursin cheese. I used Boursin ail and fines herbes cheese, also known as Boursin Garlic and Fine Herbs Cheese.
Use fresh, quality cherry tomatoes without molds and bruises.
4 ounces of dry spaghetti makes 2 servings of cooked pasta. This Boursin cheese pasta recipe can accommodate an additional 1 ounce of spaghetti to create 1 ¼ cups per serving.
A well-seasoned cast iron can be used when cooking tomatoes for a short time, as in this recipe.
