Videos of home cooks making baked Boursin Lemon Pasta have amassed millions of views on the social media app, with many creators praising the dish for its one-pot simplicity and fresh flavors. Boursin, which is the brand name for a French style of cheese called Gournay cheese, is known for its creamy texture and garlicky flavor. It hails from Northern France, where it first gained popularity in the early '60s. Today, Boursin is a household name, and its versatility has made it a popular choice among cooks and creators on social media. Now the cheese is behind a viral pasta trend that calls to mind another baked cheese pasta that we still make to this day. How To Make Baked Boursin Lemon Pasta The Lemon Boursin Pasta is simple to make, and requires only a handful of ingredients. Start with a package of Boursin Garlic and Fine Herbs Cheese, a few lemons, a head of garlic, a shallot, and some pasta (we recommend paccheri or rotini.) Pull some dried oregano, black pepper, and olive oil from your pantry and you’re ready to go. You’ll want to cook your pasta according to the package instructions, until al dente. While it’s cooking, all of the other ingredients go into a baking dish and bake for about 30 minutes. When the roasted lemon-and-cheese goodness is ready, simply squeeze and discard the lemons and mix everything together to form the easiest cheesy pasta sauce ever. Then it's as easy as tossing your cooked pasta in the sauce and serving. Editorial contributions by Terri Peters Cook Mode (Keep screen awake) Ingredients 1x 2x 4x Oops! Something went wrong.
