• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 30 mins

Ingredients

3 garlic cloves (minced)

1 white onion (finely diced)

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp chilli flakes (more or less depending on your spice tolerance)

150 g Boursin cheese (1 packet)

75 g sundried tomatoes (optional)

1 tbsp sundried tomato oil (optional (use olive oil instead if you'd like)

300 ml chicken stock

1 tsp balsamic vinegar

1/2 tsp sugar

250 g spaghetti

1 tbsp parmesan (grated + extra for garnish)

Directions

Place a large pan or saucepan on medium heat and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add in the onion and garlic. Fry for a few minutes or until softened. Next up, add in the paprika, oregano, and chilli flakes. Stir to combine.

Meanwhile, place the boursin cheese, sundried tomatoes, sundried tomato oil, and the 300ml chicken stock in a blender and blend until smooth.

Pour the boursin sauce into the pan and follow with another 400ml water/stock. Add in the balsamic vinegar and the sugar. Stir to combine.

Add the spaghetti into your pan ensuring that all the pasta is under water. Cover with a lid and leave to simmer for 10 minutes (or according to pasta packet instructions), stirring frequently to ensure the pasta doesn't stick to the base of the pan. Remove the lid for the final 2 minutes to thicken the sauce to your liking. The pasta should be al dente and the sauce should be saucy!! Add more water if the pasta is sticking to the base and the pasta isn't cooked yet.

Once your pasta is cooked to perfection and the sauce is the perfect viscosity, add in the grated parmesan and give it all a mix. Divide the pasta between 2-3 bowls. Top with more grated parmesan, chilli flakes, and enjoy!
