This creamy and flavorful Boursin Mac Cheese features tender fusilli pasta enveloped in a luscious garlic and herb Boursin cheese sauce. The sauce is created by melting Boursin into simmering evaporated milk, resulting in a rich, glossy texture that perfectly coats the pasta for an indulgent yet easy-to-make comfort dish.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 12 oz fusilli corti bucati or other short pasta
  • 1 (12-oz.) can evaporated milk (1½ cups)
  • 2 (5.3-oz.) packages Garlic & Herb Boursin cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the fusilli pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente according to the package instructions. Reserve ½ cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta thoroughly.
  2. Prepare the cheese sauce: While the pasta cooks, heat a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Pour in the evaporated milk and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the two packages of Garlic & Herb Boursin cheese to the milk. Stir continuously until the cheese has completely melted and blended into the milk, creating a smooth sauce – this should take about 3 minutes.
  3. Thicken the sauce: Return the sauce to a gentle simmer and continue to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and develops a glossy sheen. Season the sauce with ½ teaspoon kosher salt at this stage to enhance flavor.
  4. Combine pasta and sauce: Add the drained pasta into the cheese sauce along with a splash of the reserved pasta water. Gently stir over medium-low heat, adding more pasta water as needed, until the sauce nicely coats the pasta. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional kosher salt if necessary.

Notes

  • Reserve pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency and ensure it clings well to the pasta.
  • Use fusilli or other short pasta shapes that hold sauce well, like penne or rotini.
  • The evaporated milk provides creaminess with less fat than heavy cream.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the sauce at its creamiest texture.
  • This recipe can be customized by adding sautéed vegetables or cooked bacon for extra flavor.
