Ingredients and Variations
Pasta: Choose a pasta like penne or rigatoni that has ridges or is hollow so the creamy sauce can cling! Large shells, bowtie, rotini, and bucatini are good choices for Boursin cheese pasta.
Chicken: Chicken is perfect for this recipe, but Italian sausage, mini beef meatballs, and even shrimp are excellent options. For a meatless Boursin cheese pasta, fried tofu or seitan can be cooked the same way as the chicken. It can also be made as a meatless meal by just doubling up the pasta and veggies.
Mushrooms: Quarter instead of slicing the mushrooms for visual appeal. Experiment with other mushrooms like morels, shiitakes, or oyster mushrooms. Other great veggies to switch out or add are halved cherry tomatoes, zucchini, or chopped spinach.
Sauce: Boursin cheese is the star of this recipe because it melts so perfectly with the cream and parmesan. Boursin melts into a flavorful sauce but feta and blue cheese crumbles also melt well and will impart a different flavor as well. Heavy cream makes the sauce rich and smooth but could be switched out for half-and-half for fewer calories.
