This Boursin lemon pasta is rich, creamy, and bursting with bright flavor. Roasting garlic, lemon, and shallots alongside a melty wheel of Boursin creates a ready-to-mix sauce that’s packed with savory, herby goodness. Add cooked pasta and a little reserved water, and you’ve got an effortless yet fancy-feeling dinner in under an hour.

Perfect for weeknights when you want something cozy but crave something a little elevated. Plus, it’s mostly hands-off once it hits the oven.

Before you get started

Use a baking dish that fits everything snugly, so the flavors concentrate while roasting. Wrap your garlic bulb loosely in foil if you want a milder roast. For the lemons, make sure they’re halved and seeded so you don’t get any bitterness in the mix. Save some pasta water before draining so you can loosen the sauce when tossing everything together.

Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a baking dish, place the Boursin wheel, cut lemon halves, sliced shallots, and whole garlic bulb. Drizzle everything generously with olive oil and season with black pepper.

Bake for 40 minutes until the cheese is soft and everything is roasted and golden.

3

Once out of the oven, squeeze the roasted garlic from its bulb and mix it into the melted Boursin along with the shallots. Discard the lemon halves.

Add in your cooked pasta and a splash of pasta water. Toss everything together until creamy and well-coated. Serve hot with extra cracked pepper or fresh herbs if you like.
