Description

This Boursin Mac and Cheese is ultra creamy, rich, and packed with garlic-herb flavor, combining melted cheeses with a crispy breadcrumb topping for the ultimate comfort dish.


Ingredients

  • For the Pasta & Sauce
  • 8 oz short pasta (macaroni, shells, or similar)
  • 1 round Boursin cheese
  • 1 cup grated white cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • For the Topping
  • 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter


Instructions

  1. Boil pasta in salted water until al dente, then drain and reserve a bit of pasta water.
  2. Melt butter in a saucepan, whisk in flour, and cook 1 minute to form a roux.
  3. Slowly whisk in heavy cream until smooth.
  4. Add Boursin cheese and cheddar, stirring until fully melted and creamy.
  5. Adjust consistency with milk if needed.
  6. Stir in cooked pasta until fully coated in sauce.
  7. In a pan, melt butter and toast breadcrumbs until golden brown.
  8. Top mac and cheese with breadcrumbs and serve hot.

Notes

  • Add cooked chicken or bacon for extra protein.
  • Use different Boursin flavors for variation.
  • Reserved pasta water can help loosen sauce if needed.
  • Best served immediately while creamy and hot.
