Equipment
- Small Baking Dish

Ingredients
- Handful of cherry tomatoes
- 1 small shallot, sliced thinly
- 1-2 cloves of garlic, sliced thinly, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Crushed red pepper flakes to taste
- Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- ½ of a (5.2 oz) round of garlic and herb Boursin cheese
- 4 oz spaghetti noodles cooked per instructions, reserving ¼ cup of cooking liquid
- 3 tbsp parmesan cheese finely grated
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the tomatoes & cheese by placing the cherry tomatoes, shallot, and garlic in a small baking dish, drizzling with olive oil, and seasoning with crushed red pepper flakes, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Toss to coat evenly.
- Add the Boursin ½ round to the baking dish, nuzzling it among the cherry tomatoes.
- Roast the tomatoes & cheese for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in a large pot of well-salted water, following the package directions. Drain, reserving ¼ cup of the pasta cooking water for the sauce.
- To serve, remove the baking dish from the oven. Add the cooked pasta, Parmesan cheese, and parsley to the cheese and tomatoes; add some of the cooking water; gently toss to coat evenly, then let it sit for a few minutes to thicken and coat the noodles.
- Gently toss to coat evenly again. Taste the pasta and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste, if needed.
- Serve immediately with fresh Parmesan on the side. Enjoy.
