A comforting pasta dish featuring creamy Boursin cheese, ground beef or Italian sausage, and a savory blend of spices, perfect for any weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 24 oz jar of spaghetti sauce or marinara
- 1 lb rigatoni pasta
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 5 oz package of Garlic and Herb Boursin cheese
- Fresh grated parmesan, for serving
- Dried or fresh parsley, for garnish
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a Dutch oven over medium heat, brown the ground beef or Italian sausage along with the diced onion and minced garlic. If there’s excess grease, drain it off.
- Add in the onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning; stir to combine.
- Pour in the spaghetti sauce, rigatoni pasta, and chicken broth. Mix everything thoroughly and bring to a gentle boil.
- Cover the pot, reduce the heat to simmer, and cook for about 20 minutes until the pasta is al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once the pasta is just right, fold in the Boursin cheese, allowing it to melt into a creamy sauce.
- Taste your dish and adjust with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve garnished with parsley and topped with freshly grated parmesan.
Notes
For a leaner option, substitute ground turkey. You can also use different types of pasta like penne or fusilli.
