Spaghetti with Boursin
Recipe

Spaghetti with Boursin

Dinner • Switzerland

Spaghetti are cooked in bouillon water, then mixed with cubed Boursin until creamy. Served with a simple head lettuce salad on the side.

Why smarter

Using Boursin as the sauce base creates a creamy coating with minimal additional steps.

Chef tip

Cube the Boursin before draining the pasta so it melts and mixes in quickly while the spaghetti are still hot.
