This Boursin cheese pasta is the viral recipe from TikTok that’s totally worth the hype. It’s easy, creamy, and packed with herb and tomato flavor in every bite. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner, this dish comes together in the oven while the pasta cooks so you can have a delicious meal on the table in just 30 minutes.
1 Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the Boursin cheese in the center of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Add the tomatoes around it, then drizzle everything with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt, pepper, garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
2 Bake for 25 minutes, or until the tomatoes are bursting and the cheese is soft and melty.
3 While the Boursin and tomatoes bake, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your pasta and cook according to package instructions. Before draining, reserve ⅓ cup of pasta water to use later.
4 Once the tomatoes are done roasting, remove the dish from the oven and mash the tomatoes and cheese together using a fork until a creamy sauce forms.
5 Add the cooked pasta, basil and reserved pasta water (as needed if you want a creamier consistency) and toss it all together.
6 Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, toss again, and garnish with fresh basil if desired.Serve immediately.
Pesto Crusted Chicken
8 Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
9 Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
10 Spread a generous spoonful of pesto over the top of each chicken breast, covering it evenly.
11 In a small bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and olive oil (if using). Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the pesto-covered side of the chicken, pressing gently so it sticks.
12 Place the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket (pesto side up). Cook for 12–15 minutes, depending on thickness, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the crust is golden and crisp.
13 Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
