Description
This Easy Boursin Mac and Cheese is a creamy, cheesy dish that’s perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz elbow macaroni
- 5 oz Boursin garlic and herb cheese
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Cook the pasta – Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions. Stir occasionally so the pasta doesn’t stick together. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set it aside.
- Start the creamy base – In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk continuously for about one minute. This forms a smooth roux that helps thicken the sauce.
- Add the milk – Slowly pour in the milk while whisking constantly. Continue cooking for several minutes until the mixture becomes slightly thick and silky.
- Melt the cheeses – Add the Boursin cheese, cheddar cheese, Parmesan, and mozzarella to the sauce. Stir gently until everything melts into a smooth and creamy mixture. The Boursin cheese will infuse the sauce with its signature garlic and herb flavor.
- Season the sauce – Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Combine pasta and sauce – Add the cooked macaroni to the sauce and gently stir until every piece of pasta is coated in the rich cheese mixture.
- Serve warm – Serve the Easy Boursin Mac and Cheese immediately while it’s hot and creamy. The sauce thickens beautifully as it cools, creating the ultimate comforting bowl of pasta.
Notes
- This dish is best served immediately for the creamiest texture.
