Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2

Place the Boursin Cheese in the center of the 9x9 inch baking pan. Place washed grape tomatoes around the cheese.

Step 3

Sprinkle minced garlic, diced shallot and sliced basil over the tomatoes.

Step 4

Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil over the tomatoes and cheese. Top with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.

Step 5

Bake for 15 minutes, or until the grape tomatoes start to brown or split open.

Step 6

While tomatoes and cheese are baking, cook and drain pasta according to package directions for al dente.

Step 7

If using spinach and mushrooms, heat remaining olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Saute mushrooms until browned, approximately 5-8 minutes. Add spinach and cook until it just begins to wilt, approximately 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

When cheese and tomatoes are done, remove from oven and top with cooked pasta, as well as mushrooms and spinach if using. Stir just until combined and serve immediately.
