Ingredients
- 1 pound dried pasta any shape or size
- 10.6 ounces Boursin cheese garlic & fine herbs (2 boxes)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
Instructions
- Set a large pot of water on the stove top over high heat. Add a hefty tablespoon of salt to the water. Bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, drop the pasta in the water and cook according to the package instructions.
- Right before draining the pasta, ladle out 1 cup of pasta water and set aside for the sauce.
- Drain the pasta. Pour the pasta back into the pot, over low heat.
- Add the Boursin cheese and lemon zest to the pot. Gently stir until the cheese melts over the pasta. Add ½ cup of pasta water and continue to stir until the cheese and pasta water create a silky sauce over the pasta. *You can add additional pasta water if desired to create that consistency you prefer. Serve warm.

Notes
- Storing Leftovers - Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
- Freezing - I don't recommend freezing this pasta dish. It will lose it's creaminess and delicate flavor if frozen, thawed and reheated.
- Reheating - Reheat leftovers in the microwave in short, 30-second bursts at 50% power. Stir between bursts. If the sauce has tightened a bit too much you can add a small splash of water while microwaving.
