Pro Tips for the Creamiest Tortellini
Use high-quality Boursin cheese - It makes all the difference in flavor.
Roast the tomatoes until they burst - This adds an incredible depth of flavor.
Add extra cheese on top - A sprinkle of Parmesan takes it to another level.
Make it a full meal - Pair it with a simple side salad or garlic bread!
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a baking dish, add cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Step 2: Add the Boursin
Place the Boursin cheese block in the center of the dish, nestled among the tomatoes.
Step 3: Bake to Perfection
Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, until the tomatoes are blistered and the cheese is melted.
Step 4: Cook the Tortellini
While the Boursin bakes, cook spinach tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Step 5: Mash & Mix
Once the baking dish is out of the oven, use a spoon to mash the roasted tomatoes and mix the melty Boursin into a creamy sauce.
Step 6: Combine & Serve
Toss in the cooked tortellini, ¼ cup or reserved pasta water and fresh spinach, stirring until everything is well-coated in the cheesy sauce. The spinach will wilt from the heat.
Step 7: Garnish & Enjoy!
Top with fresh basil, chives, and extra Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

It’s a great recipe. Delicious. But the sauce needs to be doubled.
HomeCookBlog says
Thanks for your feedback. You can absolutely double it if you like it creamier.

I would like to know if there is a way to print the instructions from my desktop from your blog? I can’t keep running to my computer.
Maybe there is a way to print, but I did not see a link for that? Help. Thank you
I can’t wait to make this tonight.
HomeCookBlog says
Yes! It is right above the recipe instructions and ratings. There is a button in blue that allows you to print with or without image.
Jane Pordon says
The blue print tab didn't work for me with my cell phone which is very annoying as I want to give it to my husband as it is an easy one to make while I am away
Homecookblog says
So sorry it didn’t work for you! It seems to work on our end. Would you like it emailed to you instead.
Susan E Meyer says
Can raviolis work here?
HomeCookBlog says
Yes, absolutely!
HomeCookBlog says
Yes! Absolutely
Shirley says
Making this for the first time but your directions say to add additional parmesan, if desired, but the recipe itself doesn't call for it. How much parmesan do we add and when do we add it
HomeCookBlog says
Garnish at the end! Just a bit, about a tablespoon. Just enough to be a sprinkle over the plate. Sorry about that, will adjust the directions.
