Directions
- 1
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 2
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, place the Boursin cheese right in the center. Surround it with sliced onions, cherry tomatoes, and whole garlic cloves.
- 3
Drizzle everything with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.
- 4
Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until the tomatoes are bursting and the cheese is soft and melty.
- 5
While the veggies are roasting, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt the water generously, then cook your pasta according to package directions.
- 6
Reserve ½ cup of the pasta water before draining—this can help loosen your sauce later if needed.
- 7
Once the tomato mixture is out of the oven, use an immersion blender right in the baking dish to blend everything into a smooth, creamy sauce. (Careful—it's hot!)
- 8
Add the cooked pasta to the dish and stir well to coat. Mix in freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a handful of chopped fresh herbs like basil or parsley. If the sauce feels too thick, stir in a splash of your reserved pasta water.

Spoon into bowls, top with extra Parmesan if you’d like, and serve warm!
