10-Minute Beef Boursin Cheese Pasta
10-Minute Beef Boursin Cheese Pasta is the perfect recipe for busy days when you want something creamy, comforting, and full of flavor without spending time in the kitchen. This dish brings together tender seasoned beef, hot pasta, and rich Boursin cheese that melts into a silky garlic-and-herb sauce in minutes. It feels indulgent but is incredibly easy, making it ideal for quick lunches, weeknight dinners, or last-minute meals.
Ingredients
300 g pasta (penne, fusilli, or shells), 400 g ground beef, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 small onion finely chopped, 2 cloves garlic minced, 1 package Boursin cheese (garlic & herb), ½ cup milk or light cream, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon paprika, salt to taste, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or basil.
Cooking the Pasta
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente. Drain and reserve a small cup of pasta water in case you need to loosen the sauce later.
Preparing the Beef
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until browned. Stir in the chopped onion and cook until soft, then add the garlic and cook briefly until fragrant. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Making the Boursin Sauce
Lower the heat and add the Boursin cheese directly to the skillet. Pour in the milk or cream and stir until the cheese melts into a smooth, creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water to reach your preferred consistency.
Combining Everything
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss gently until every piece is coated in the creamy beef and Boursin sauce. Let everything heat together for about one minute so the flavors blend perfectly.
Serving
Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley or basil. Serve immediately while hot and creamy, with a simple salad or garlic bread on the side if desired.
Tips
Use freshly cooked hot pasta so the Boursin melts faster. Do not overcook the beef to keep it juicy. Adjust creaminess with milk or pasta water as needed.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently with a splash of milk to keep the sauce smooth and creamy.
