Ingredients
 

  • 2 - 5.2 oz. Boursin Cheese Garlic and Herbs flavor
  • 1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes
  • 3 large cloves garlic crushed
  • Drizzle of olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes or to taste
  • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning blend
  • 11 oz. pkg. Al Fresco Chicken Sausage links Sweet Italian Style
  • 3 cups penne pasta or mini penne pasta
  • 1 cup reserved pasta water from cooking the penne
  • Grated Parmesan for garnishing

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Unwrap both of the packages of Boursin cheese. In the center of a 2-quart casserole dish (8x11x3 inches), sprayed with nonstick spray, place both rounds of the Boursin, surrounding them with the grape tomatoes.
  • Drizzle a good turn of olive oil over the cheeses, then sprinkle the tomatoes with the fresh garlic, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasonings.
  • Bake, uncovered, on the center rack of the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta until al dente, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water.
  • Slice the chicken sausages into coins, then cook a couple of minutes until the sausages are golden brown on both sides; reserve and keep warm.
  • After removing the Boursin cheese and roasted tomatoes from the oven, use a wooden spoon or silicone spatula spoon to gently press down on the tomatoes until they burst open.
  • Fold the tomatoes and seasonings into the melted Boursin cheese, adding some of the reserved pasta water, only as needed, to make a creamy sauce. Fold in the cooked penne pasta until well coated. Adjust with a bit more reserved pasta water, if needed.
  • Top the pasta with the browned chicken sausage coins, then with a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan; garnish with a bit of chopped Italian parsley, if desired.
    Serve at once.
