Boursin Cheese Baked TikTok Pasta
Freshly cooked pasta tossed with baked Boursin cheese, tomatoes, garlic, spices, and parmesan cheese. This easy-baked pasta recipe will knock your socks off!
So I officially joined TikTok. After my kids saying over and over again, “I learned this on TikTok,” I finally succumbed. I opened up my official Modern Honey TikTok account and I am now in the TikTok business of sharing food videos.
I don’t know about you but I am a visual learner so I am trying to share more food videos for all of you out there! I hope you love them and they are helping you in the kitchen!
I saw this pasta dish that went crazy viral on TikTok and knew that I had to try it out. I thought it was good but knew it could be better. The original recipe calls for a block of feta cheese. I saw another guy share a tweak to the recipe by using Boursin cheese instead of feta cheese and I was hooked. I couldn’t get to the grocery store fast enough!
Let me just say — this TikTok Pasta is one of my favorite pasta dishes of all times. Yes, that is a very bold statement but it is THAT good. If you haven’t tried Boursin cheese, it is It is a soft creamy cheese available in a variety of flavors, with a texture somewhat similar to cream cheese. I tend to reach for the Garlic and Herbs Boursin cheese but I have loved every flavor I have tried.
This Boursin Cheese Baked TikTok Pasta is made by placing two rounds of Boursin cheese and fresh grape or cherry tomatoes into a baking dish. Then you drizzle it all with extra virgin olive oil and add fresh garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Bake it for about 35 minutes until the tomatoes are softened and the cheese is melted.
Then you toss it with your favorite cooked pasta, fresh basil, a touch of spinach if you like that kind of thing, and freshly grated parmesan cheese. It has all kinds of flavor from the Boursin cheese to the roasted tomatoes to the garlic to the parmean cheese to the fresh basil. You’ve got it all with this baked pasta!
Now I know why this TikTok recipe went so viral. I am adding this to my dinner rotation because it is not only easy but tastes phenomenal!
How to make the Baked TikTok Pasta:
- Start by placing the Boursin cheese and grape or cherry tomatoes into a 9 x 13 baking dish. Generously drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Finely chop fresh garlic and place all over the tomatoes. Bake uncovered for about 35 minutes. The tomatoes will be softened and roasted and the cheese will be melted.
- While the tomatoes are roasting, cook the pasta by heating a pot of water over high heat until boiling. Pick out your favorite type of pasta. You can use everything from small pasta to large pasta. Make sure to salt the water to give the pasta flavor. Set aside 1/2 cup of pasta water to add to the sauce.
- Remove the tomatoes and cheese from the oven and add the pasta to the baking dish. Fold in fresh basil, spinach, and top with freshly grated parmesan cheese. Check for seasonings and make sure you have enough salt and pepper!
- This makes delicious leftovers! Just cover it well in the refrigerator and you can eat leftovers for days — if it lasts that long!

Notes
- Use less pasta if you want a creamier sauce and more pasta if you want to feed more. For these photos, I used 16 ounces of pasta but have used 10 ounces of pasta before and had a creamier sauce.
- Recipe adapted from TikTok. I haven't found the original creator of the recipe yet! Let me know if you know who the original recipe creator was and I will give credit. 🙂
- I adapted and changed the type of cheese, garlic, spinach, and basil.

I’ve made this 3 times since you posted it. My dad (he’s 88 and set in his ways especially loves your pies) he and my family love this pasta recipe it!!
I Made your chocolate pie and coconut cream pie last thanksgiving. LOL I’ve made a lot of your recipes. If it’s something new I’m making everyone asks if it honey’s recipe , too funny they shortened your website name and love the recipes from you. Tomorrow I’m making the pumpkin bread, it is so yummy. So a big thank you for being an awesome inspiration.
This makes me so happy! Thank you so much for following along, Denise.
Recipe calls for minced garlic but didn’t see it mentioned in instructions-do you add with the tomatoes and bake?
Hi Reen! It is mentioned in the first step in the recipe card, you will add it in with the tomatoes and Boursin cheese before you bake. I hope you enjoy!
I haven’t tried this yet. But could I use canned tomatoes in a pinch
Hi Deana! You can. It won’t quite have the same fresh flavor but I am sure it will still be delicious!
What could I use instead of tomatoes?
H! You can leave them out entirely, or you can use a different vegetable that you like.
This was soooo good and a hit with a semi picky 17 yo boy and 20 yo girl. I added cauliflower to the original set up just use it up and to bulk up the veggies in the dish. Chopped about 2 cups of spinach and added rotisserie chicken. We all had a little bit of seconds an still had a portion left for another day. Will definitely make a gain.
I give this recipe 5 stars for ease, for taste and for cleanup. This recipe goes straight into the favorites file!
I loved this recipe! It really has the best flavor and couldn’t be easier
