This creamy pasta dish became popular on TikTok and it looked so delicious I had to give it a try. It’s become my favorite pasta dish! It’s so simple to put together.
To a baking dish you’ll place a round of Boursin cheese, any flavor (I love the garlic and herb personally), tomatoes, garlic cloves, a yellow onion and drizzle the whole thing with olive oil.
Then it’s baked until the cheese is melted and creamy and the tomatoes are bursting.
Doesn’t that look scrumptious!? After baking, you’ll use an immersion blender to blend it all into a smooth and creamy sauce and toss with rigatoni pasta.
I like to top the pasta with fresh parmesan cheese, fresh basil and fresh flat leaf parsley. It’s so delicious!
What you’ll need
- 9×13 baking dish
- Immersion blender or food processor
- Boursin cheese– any flavor you like.
- Fresh tomatoes– cherry, Campari, grape, or quartered garden tomatoes. I use a combination of what I have on hand.
- Fresh garlic cloves– whole
- Yellow onion– chopped or sliced
- Olive Oil– to drizzle over the ingredients before baking
- Seasonings– salt and pepper to taste, red pepper flakes, and any fresh herbs you have such as basil and parsley.
- Fresh grated parmesan cheese– to sprinkle over at the end and as a garnish
- Pasta– short cut, I love rigatoni. Ziti, penne, or bowties would all be great!
Tips, Tricks, and Suggestions
- Refrigerate leftovers (if you have any!) in an airtight container up to 3 days.
- Use any combination of tomatoes that you like or happen to have on hand.
- Try any flavor of Boursin cheese. I like the garlic and herb variety. If you don’t have Boursin cheese you can substitute cream cheese or feta cheese, or a combination of half feta and half cream cheese.
- Reserve some of the pasta water in case the sauce is too thick and you need to thin it out.
- Try adding spinach

Made this recipe and it was very good, I didn’t use as many tomatoes as the recipe called for because the hubby hates them. I will keep this recipe in rotation and use the amount of tomatoes it calls for, hubby agreed, he loved it.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing!
