Notes

Ingredients and Substitutions:

Pasta: I used Cavatappi pasta in this recipe, but any kind at all -- short or long -- will work here.

Boursin: feel free to experiment with other flavors of Boursin or a flavored cream cheese product. If you don't have either, you can substitute with 4 ounces of cream cheese (125 grams) plus additional seasonings.
