Ingredients

16 ounces penne pasta
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups grape tomatoes
2 cups baby spinach
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup heavy cream, room temperature
2 (5.3 ounce) packages Boursin cheese, garlic and fine herbs
torn fresh basil
chopped fresh parsley
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese optional

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta al dente according to package instructions and drain well. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water for thinning the sauce.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the grape tomatoes and spinach until the spinach wilts.
Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the cream and Boursin cheese. Cook over very low heat until melted.
Add the drained pasta, sprinkle with fresh herbs, and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. If desired, sprinkle with a bit of Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Store leftover pasta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat on the stovetop over low heat or in the microwave for short increments at reduced power until hot. Use a splash of milk, cream, or pasta water.
I do not recommend freezing this pasta.
