Boursin Broccoli Pasta
An easy weeknight dinner with veggies that even your toddler will eat!
Ingredients
- 8 ounces pasta of choice
- 2-3 cups broccoli florets cut small
- 1-1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 Boursin cheese wheel
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1-1.5 cups cooked chicken shredded or diced
- 1/4-1/2 cup reserved pasta water
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions. Reserve about ¾ cup of pasta water before draining.
- While the pasta cooks, add the broccoli and cherry tomatoes to a baking dish. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Place the Boursin cheese in the center of the dish.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the broccoli is tender and the tomatoes have burst.
- Remove from the oven and mash the Boursin into the vegetables to create a creamy sauce.
- Add the cooked pasta, cooked chicken, and about 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water. Toss until everything is evenly coated. Add more pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
- Stir in the parmesan cheese and serve warm.
