Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cook the rigatoni pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain, but reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water for later use.
- Assemble the dish by placing the Boursin cheese in the center of a baking dish. Surround it with halved cherry tomatoes and minced garlic, then drizzle everything generously with olive oil.
- Roast the mixture in the oven for about 20 minutes until the tomatoes blister and the cheese becomes soft and creamy.
- Mix the melted cheese with the tomatoes and garlic until smooth. If too thick, stir in heavy cream and reserved pasta water.
- Combine the cooked pasta with the cheese mixture, ensuring even coating.
- Top the dish with grated parmesan cheese and bake for another 10-15 minutes until bubbly and golden.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or basil just before serving.
