This creamy one-pot broccoli and Boursin pasta is the ultimate quick comfort food. Made in under 30 minutes with just a handful of ingredients, it’s rich, cheesy, and full of cozy garlic herb flavor — all in one pot!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 ½ cups short pasta (orecchiette, shells, or fusilli)
- 4 cups water or vegetable broth
- 1 head broccoli, chopped into small florets
- 1 wheel (5.2 oz) Boursin garlic & herb cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: grated parmesan, chili flakes
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté garlic for 1 minute.
- Add pasta and 4 cups of water or broth. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in broccoli and cook for another 4–5 minutes until pasta and broccoli are tender.
- Turn off the heat. Add Boursin cheese and stir until creamy and fully melted.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water if sauce is too thick.
- Serve hot with optional parmesan or chili flakes.
Notes
- Cut broccoli small so it cooks quickly and blends into the sauce.
- Stir regularly to avoid pasta sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Add lemon zest for brightness or rotisserie chicken for protein.
- Use gluten-free pasta if needed, but stir often.
