If you are looking for a weeknight dinner that feels high-end with practically zero effort, Oven Baked 4-Ingredient Boursin Zucchini Pasta is about to become a regular in your rotation.
Taking inspiration from the viral baked feta pasta craze, this recipe swaps out tangy feta for creamy, herb-packed Boursin cheese. As the zucchini roasts alongside the cheese wheel, it breaks down into tender, caramelized ribbons that melt seamlessly into a garlic-and-herb cream sauce.
Why You’ll Love This Dish
-
Minimal Ingredients, Maximum Flavor: Boursin comes pre-seasoned with garlic, parsley, and chives, meaning the cheese does all the heavy lifting for your sauce.
-
Effortless Prep: Simply toss the zucchini in a pan, nestle the cheese in the middle, and let the oven do the work while your pasta boils.
-
Vegetable-Forward Comfort: The zucchini melts down so smoothly that even picky eaters will happily gobble up their greens.
The 4 Core Ingredients
-
1 Wheel (5.2 oz) Boursin Cheese: Garlic & Fine Herbs flavor works best, though Shallot & Chive is equally delicious.
-
2 Medium Zucchinis: Thinly sliced into half-moons or quarter-inch rounds.
-
8 oz Pasta of Choice: Short pasta shapes like penne, rigatoni, or cavatappi trap the creamy sauce inside their ridges.
-
2 tbsp Olive Oil: Helps roast the zucchini and thins out the cheese into a silky pan sauce.
(Salt, black pepper, and reserved pasta water are assumed to be in your kitchen!)
