Frequently Asked Questions

Is this recipe gluten free friendly?

It is if you decide to use Gluten Free Pasta! That is the only ingredient that isn’t naturally gluten free.

How do I know the Boursin cheese has baked enough?

The edges of the cheese should be golden. The cheese should also be soft enough to mix with the blistered tomatoes.

What does it mean for a tomato to be “blistered”?

A tomato is “blistered” when it has cooked/baked causing the tomato to shrivel up and release its tomato juice. You should be able to easily smash the tomatoes.

Should I cook the pasta “al dente”?

Yes! “Al dente” is perfect so that the pasta has a nice bite to it.

How do I store the leftovers of this Boursin Pasta Recipe?

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Make sure the pasta is completely cooled before putting it in the fridge.
