Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Baking Dish

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a medium casserole dish if desired.

Step 2: Assemble the Ingredients

Spread the uncooked pasta evenly across the bottom of the dish. Add the sliced zucchini over the pasta.

Place the Boursin cheese round in the center.

Step 3: Add the Liquid

Pour the broth or water evenly over the ingredients, ensuring most of the pasta is submerged.

Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.

Step 5: Stir and Continue Baking

Remove the foil and carefully stir around the melting cheese.

Return the dish to the oven uncovered and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes until the pasta is tender and the sauce becomes creamy.

Step 6: Create the Creamy Sauce

Stir thoroughly, mixing the melted Boursin into the pasta and zucchini until smooth and well combined.

Allow the pasta to rest for 3–5 minutes before serving.
