I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Easy Roasted Tomato Boursin Pasta

Tons of flavour from garlicky herb Boursin cheese and juicy charred tomatoes. Easy weeknight dinner!

Ingredients:

250g (8 oz) penne pasta, or about 2 cups

150g garlic and fine herb Boursin cheese

2 cups fresh spinach, lightly packed

3 garlic buds

3 cups cherry tomatoes or large tomatoes cut in chunks

2 tbsps olive oil

fresh basil to serve

reserved pasta water  

Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine the tomatoes, olive oil and garlic buds in a 13 X 9" baking dish. Place the Boursin in a space in the middle. Bake for 30 minutes. While roasting, cook the pasta and chop the spinach. Once the tomatoes and cheese have roasted then broil for 2 minutes. Mash the garlic buds with a fork. Drain the pasta reserving 1 cup of the pasta water. Toss the drained pasta with spinach then stir into the tomato/cheese/garlic mixture. Add enough pasta water to give it a consistency you like. Plate and top with fresh chopped basil. Serves 4
