Creamy Boursin Pasta with Spinach, Mushrooms & Tomatoes

(1)

Boursin cheese adds delicious creaminess to this one-pan, veggie-packed pasta. We use the garlic-and-herbs flavor here, but other Boursin flavors like shallot and chive or cracked black pepper would be just as tasty.

Ingredients

  • 1 10-ounce package grape tomatoes

  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)

  • 1 (5.2 ounce) package Boursin with garlic and herbs

  • 8 ounces whole-wheat rotini or penne

  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

  • 2 cups boiling water

  • 4 cups packed baby spinach

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

  2. Toss tomatoes, mushrooms, 2 tablespoons oil, Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper (if using) together in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Place Boursin in the center. Bake until the tomatoes are broken down and bubbling, about 20 minutes.

  3. Add pasta and garlic to the baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour boiling water over the mixture and gently stir. Cover with foil and bake, stirring once, until the pasta is tender, about 20 minutes total.

  4. Meanwhile, place spinach in a medium bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil then massage until its volume is reduced by half. When the pasta is tender, remove the baking dish from the oven and stir again. Add the spinach and stir to combine. (The pasta will be very saucy.) Cover and let stand for at least 20 minutes for the sauce to thicken and the spinach to wilt.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
