Creamy Boursin Pasta with Roasted Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken and chickpea pasta tossed in a velvety Boursin sauce with blistered cherry tomatoes and fresh spinach for a decadent yet balanced meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz chickpea rotini pasta
0.5 oz Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 cup baby spinach
0.5 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp reserved pasta water
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the cherry tomatoes with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper on the baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes until they are soft and blistered.
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions, making sure to reserve 2 tablespoons of the starchy cooking water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with garlic powder and sear in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it rest for 2 minutes, then slice into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.
Reduce the skillet heat to low and add the cooked pasta, Boursin cheese, reserved pasta water, and roasted tomatoes (including any juices from the pan).
Stir gently until the cheese melts into a creamy sauce that coats the pasta, then fold in the baby spinach until it just begins to wilt.
Top the pasta with the sliced chicken and serve immediately.
