We probably all remember when this simple Boursin recipe went viral on Tiktok in 2021! And rightly so - it's an amazing idea to make Baked Boursin Pasta simply with tomatoes, a block of Boursin cheese, and pasta.
I don't know who exactly was the original creator of this Tiktok-famous pasta, but I definitely bow to their genius idea! This recipe here is my own take on the creamy Boursin pasta - but a plant-based version using convenient tinned cherry tomatoes for this delicious next-level tomato pasta and with less washing up to do after, which is always a big plus, if you ask me!

How to make Boursin Pasta (Step-by-Step)
This recipe is delicious and super simple to make as you will see from the steps below!
Step 1 - Preparation
Preheat your oven to 390°F (200°C). Lightly grease your oven dish with olive oil.
Step 2 - Assemble ingredients
Empty the Boursin Cheese into the center of your oven dish.
Place the dry pasta around the cheese and pour the tin of cherry tomatoes over the top.
Refill the empty tin with clear water about ¾ all the way up and pour the water into the oven dish. It should roughly cover the fusilli pasta in the dish.
Step 3 - Bake
Transfer the dish to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tomatoes on top look wonderfully roasted and the pasta has soaked up the majority of liquid.
Serving
Carefully remove the dish from the oven and use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir the pasta and sauce until evenly distributed.
Season to taste with salt and pepper (if needed) and serve immediately. This is delicious on its own and with a side of freshly baked focaccia bread.
Frequently Asked Questions - Boursin Pasta
Which Boursin Cheese can I use for this recipe?
I've used Boursin Plantbased for this recipe, but you can use any Boursin soft cheese with this recipe. You can also try other brands of soft cheese, but I have to admit that I've not tested the recipe with another brand. I would guess, that as long as it melts under heat, it should work out!
Can I use tinned chopped tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes?
You can, but I find that the tinned cherry tomatoes give a wonderful roasted flavor and more interesting texture to the dish. If you can't find tinned ones or are simply out of stock, then definitely try this dish with tinned chopped tomatoes instead, it'll be delicious too!

Cuisine American
Servings 2 people
Equipment
1 oven dish
1 oven
1 wooden spoon or spatula
Ingredients
- 1-2 teaspoon olive oil for greasing
- 1 block Boursin Cheese plant-based
- 1 cup Fusilli pasta (150 g)
- 1 14-oz tin cherry tomaotes (400 g)
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 390°F (200°C) and lightly grease the oven dish with olive oil.
Place the Boursin into the middle of the dish and surround it with the pasta.
Pour the tinned cherry tomatoes on top. Refill the empty tin roughly ¾ with fresh water and add it to the oven dish covering the pasta.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is soft and partially melted. Remove from the oven and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula to combine.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
Notes
- No Pre-cooking Needed: You don't have to cook the pasta before adding it to the dish, which makes the whole process easier.
- Serving: Once it's out of the oven, give it a good stir and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve it right away, maybe with some freshly baked focaccia bread.
- Use the Right Cheese: Opt for plant-based Boursin cheese or any soft cheese of your choice. Ensure it melts well under heat.
- Tinned Cherry Tomatoes for Flavor: While you can use tinned chopped tomatoes, tinned cherry tomatoes are recommended for a richer flavor and interesting texture.
- Bake Until Roasted: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top tomatoes look wonderfully roasted, and the pasta has absorbed most of the liquid.
- Stir Before Serving: After baking, carefully stir the pasta and sauce using a wooden spoon or spatula. This ensures an even distribution of flavors.
- Enjoy Freshness: The dish is at its best when served fresh, so aim to serve it hot out of the oven for the ultimate creamy and flavorful experience.

A question: How much cheese is a block of Boursin cheese? I'll be making a homemade equivalent, so I need to figure out how much to use.
Thanks!
