Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Cook Pasta: Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add your chosen pasta and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. Prepare Sauce: In a skillet over medium heat, warm some olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Stir in the creamy Boursin cheese, chili flakes, and your choice of milk or cream. Mix until you have a smooth, luscious sauce, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  4. Mix Pasta and Sauce: Add the drained pasta into the skillet with the sauce. Toss everything together gently, incorporating the reserved pasta water as needed.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Plate your Spicy Boursin Pasta and sprinkle fresh parsley on top. Serve immediately.
