Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. In a baking dish, place Boursin cheese in the center, surround it with halved cherry tomatoes and minced garlic, and drizzle with olive oil.
  4. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes until the tomatoes blister and the cheese is melted.
  5. Stir the roasted mixture with a fork, then add heavy cream and reserved pasta water until smooth.
  6. Combine the cooked rigatoni with the creamy sauce, tossing gently to coat.
  7. Top with grated parmesan cheese.
