Ingredients

  • 1 lb. rigatoni pasta
  • 10 oz. frozen peas
  • 5.2 garlic and chive Boursin Cheese puck
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Optional Toppings

  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
  • zest from 1/2 lemon

Instructions

  • Bring 4 cups of salted water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook the pasta until just al dente. Because there is less pasta water than usual when cooking pasta, there may be very little water left in the pot when the pasta is cooked. This is good!

Notes

  • How much water is left in the pot after the pasta cooks may vary based on cooking at elevation, what type of pasta is used, if the pot is covered, etc.
  • If you add too much water or if too much water is left when adding the Boursin cheese, the cheese sauce will become watery.=
  • You can use any pasta similar to a rigatoni noodle.
  • Feel free to use any flavor of Boursin cheese.
  • If you don’t have Boursin cheese, use a goat cheese log.
