Simple Boursin Mac and Cheese is a creamy, rich twist on classic mac and cheese, made with garlicky, herb-filled Boursin cheese. It’s quick, flavorful, and perfect for weeknight meals or cozy sides.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz elbow macaroni (or any short pasta)
  • 1 package (5.2 oz) Boursin cheese (Garlic & Fine Herbs recommended)
  • 1/2 cup milk or cream
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: chopped parsley, breadcrumbs, or a dash of paprika

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In the same pot or a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  3. Add milk or cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Crumble in the Boursin cheese and stir until fully melted and smooth.
  5. Stir in shredded cheddar or mozzarella if using, and mix until melted.
  6. Return the cooked pasta to the pot and toss until evenly coated in the sauce.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Garnish with herbs, breadcrumbs, or paprika if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Add sautéed spinach, peas, or broccoli for extra veggies.
  • For more protein, stir in shredded rotisserie chicken.
  • To bake: transfer to a baking dish, top with breadcrumbs and bake at 375°F for 10–15 minutes.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of milk.
  • Use gluten-free pasta and check cheese ingredients to make it gluten-free.
