Notes
Expert Tips
- Salt your pasta water. You only get one chance to add flavor to your actual noodles, so don’t miss it. Add enough salt that the water tastes like a sip of the sea when it’s dissolved.
- Grate your own aged cheese. While the urge to reach for those convenient bags of pre-shredded cheese might be strong, resist! Grating your own cheese will ensure that it melts perfectly into the Boursin sauce without any grittiness.
- Serve with garlic bread to double down on all the rich and carby goodness. If you’re hosting a dinner party, I recommend following up all the decadence with my spiced stewed pears for dessert.
