Description

A simple and flavorful 3-ingredient pasta recipe featuring spaghetti tossed in a rich marinara sauce blended with creamy Boursin cheese, ready in just 20 minutes. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or casual get-together, this dish combines the savory flavors of garlic and herbs with the comforting texture of perfectly cooked pasta.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 (16-ounce) package spaghetti
  • 1 (24-ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 1 (5.2-ounce) package Boursin Cheese (Garlic and Fine Herbs or Basil and Chive flavor)

Instructions

  1. Cook the spaghetti: Prepare the spaghetti according to the package instructions in salted boiling water, cooking until al dente. Do not drain the pasta water entirely, as some of it will be used later to adjust sauce consistency.
  2. Heat the marinara sauce: While the pasta cooks, pour the marinara sauce into a large skillet and warm it over medium heat until simmering gently.
  3. Add and melt the Boursin cheese: Add the Boursin cheese to the skillet with the warmed marinara. Use a spoon to break the cheese into smaller pieces, then reduce the heat to a low simmer and stir continuously until the cheese has fully melted and blended into the sauce, creating a creamy, herb-infused mixture.
  4. Combine pasta and sauce: Using a pasta fork or tongs, transfer the cooked spaghetti directly from the pot into the skillet with the sauce, allowing excess water to drain off back into the pot. Toss the pasta thoroughly to coat every strand evenly in the creamy marinara sauce.
  5. Season and serve: Taste the pasta and add additional salt if needed. Serve the pasta warm as a satisfying side dish or a tasty main course.

Notes

  • Do not fully drain the pasta water; some starchy water will help the sauce cling better to the pasta.
  • You can substitute the Boursin cheese flavor to match your preference, such as Garlic and Fine Herbs or Basil and Chive.
  • If the sauce is too thick after adding the cheese, add a splash of pasta water to loosen it up.
  • This dish pairs well with a simple green salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
