Ingredients
- 500 grams pasta (fettuccine, linguine, penne)
- 8 ounces mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 150 grams Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese
- ½ cup reserved pasta water
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- fresh parsley for garnish optional
Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain and rinse the pasta and set aside.
- Prepare the Morel Mushrooms: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced morel mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender and they release their water. Gently remove them from the skillet and cover to keep warm.
- Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for one minute. Reduce the heat to low and add the Boursin cheese. Cook until melted and smooth. Whisk in ¼ cup of reserved pasta water. Add the sautéed morel mushrooms back into the skillet along with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
- Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the sauce in the skillet, tossing to coat it evenly. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add more pasta water until you reach the desired consistency.
- Serve: Divide the pasta among serving plates and garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy!

Notes
- Cleaning Morel Mushrooms: Morel mushrooms can hide dirt and grit. Soak them in a bowl of cold water with a pinch of salt for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
- Cheese Hack: For easier melting, dice the Boursin cheese into small cubes before adding it to the skillet.
