Here’s a quick 20-MINUTE ONE POT BOURSIN PASTA that you can make any day of the week.

It’s creamy, packed with flavour and easy to make!

Here’s the recipe friends:

Total Time: 20 minutes
Equipment: large pot
Servings: 2-3

INGREDIENTS:
200-250g dry rigatoni (or other pasta shape)
1x (5.2 ounce/150g) package Boursin Fine Herbs & Garlic cheese
Zest from 1 lemon plus more for garnish
1 tbsp lemon juice
¼ tsp chili flakes
¼ tsp ground pepper
1 cup frozen peas
¾ cup shredded parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish with lemon zest, chili flakes, parmesan cheese

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add pasta and cook according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water and then drain the pasta.
2. Add the drained pasta back to the pot and set over low heat on the oven.
3. Immediately add in the Boursin cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, chili flakes, ground pepper, frozen peas and shredded parmesan cheese.
4. Start stirring together and gradually add in ¼ cup pasta water; keep stirring to create a creamy sauce that clings to the noodles.
5. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Make sure the peas are warmed through - if not keep on low heat and stir occasionally until they are.
6. Lastly, if you want a creamier sauce, add in an additional ¼ cup pasta water. (I generally use ½ cup pasta water total).
7. Enjoy immediately topped with more lemon zest, chili flakes and parmesan cheese if desired.

This is one of my favourite ways to make salads in

This is one of my favourite ways to make salads in the winter - ROAST some fav veggies together and then add them to salad greens, topped with feta, walnuts and a balsamic dressing.

The best part is you can mix and match what you like so carrots would be delish, chopped almonds or goat cheese are great substitutes.

Here’s generally how I make it:

1 large sweet potato, cubed
4 golden beets, peeled and cubed
12 Brussels sprouts, quartered
Olive oil
Salt & pepper
Salad greens
Chopped walnuts
Feta

Dressing: Mix together 1/4 cup olive oil, 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1x garlic clove minced, salt and pepper

Toss the vegetables with a couple tablespoons olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Roast at 415 F for 30-35 minutes or until done to your liking. Add veggies to your favourite salad greens and top with nuts, cheese and dressing.
