Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until it reaches an al dente texture according to the package directions. Before draining, reserve at least ½ cup of the starchy pasta water.Kosher salt, 12 oz. fusilli corti bucati
- While the pasta cooks, place a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Pour in the evaporated milk and bring it to a gentle simmer.1 can evaporated milk
- Add both packages of Boursin cheese to the simmering milk. Stir continuously until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is well combined, which should take about 3 minutes.2 packages Garlic & Herb Boursin cheese
- Continue to simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, for another 2 to 3 minutes until it becomes slightly thickened and glossy. Season the sauce with ½ teaspoon of kosher salt.Kosher salt
- Add the cooked pasta directly into the sauce along with a splash of the reserved pasta water. Stir gently over medium-low heat until the sauce thoroughly coats the pasta. If the sauce is too thick, add more pasta water a tablespoon at a time. Taste and add more salt if needed before serving.12 oz. fusilli corti bucati, Kosher salt
Notes
To ensure your Boursin Mac and Cheese turns out perfectly, always use evaporated milk rather than regular fresh milk to prevent curdling. Do not skip the step of reserving pasta water, as the starch helps the sauce emulsify and stick to the noodles.
