What adjustments can I make to this recipe?
If you are looking to tweak this recipe to your family’s tastes, just a few adjustments can make all the difference to this dish. It is so versatile, that it can be done with minimal fuss.
Here are a few suggestions for changes you can make.
Mushrooms – This sauce has such a creamy texture, it lends itself well to adding in mushrooms. Once you have picked your favourite type of mushrooms, add these in when you pop the casserole dish in the oven to allow them time to cook. Then follow the recipe like normal.
Red pepper flakes – If you want to bring a little different heat to the sauce, this is a great way to change the flavour. You could also consider things such as garlic powder, a little chilli powder or maybe some fresh herbs such as fresh basil or parsley.
Green beans – For a little more veggie input, why not add some sliced green beans to your mix, this gives the perfect balance between the cheesy sauce and pasta.
Chicken breasts – I am a fan of chicken and pasta and adding some chicken breast into this dish is a great way to get some more protein on your plate. I would cook the chicken first before adding it to the dish.
Different cheeses – You can add or top your Boursin cheese pasta with a variety of additional cheeses such as a handful of parmesan cheese, cream cheese, gournay cheese or your own cheese mixture combining your favourite cheeses. Just think about the type of cheese you are using before you get started.
This baked Boursin pasta recipe is about combining simple ingredients with minimal prep to create what I think is a delicious dinner, perfect for an easy weeknight dinner.
Pasta dishes tend to be a simple recipe that packs a punch with flavour. Whether you go for a baked pasta dish that is topped with cheese and grilled until golden brown or more for something with a bit of a tomato mixture and maybe some fresh basil.
For me, the best way to enjoy this easy meal is with a side salad of lettuce, cucumber, red onion and fresh tomatoes. I used the vegan Boursin when I made this but it is tasty with the original option too. No doubt we will be sharing another great TikTok in the not-too-distant future, however, if you are looking for some meal inspirations then maybe these will be suitable for you.
