Fire up your Traeger — this is one of the easiest and most flavorful pasta dishes you’ll make. Traeger Boursin Pasta combines fresh bell pepper, onion, and cherry tomatoes with Garlic & Herb Boursin cheese for a creamy, aromatic sauce. It’s fantastic as a side or easily elevated to a main with grilled chicken, shrimp, or sausage.
Traeger Boursin Pasta
Using a pellet grill like a large outdoor oven opens up so many options beyond the usual steaks and chops. This Boursin pasta grew out of the baked feta pasta trend — a simple concept of roasting cheese with vegetables and tossing it with pasta — but adapted here for the Traeger and Boursin’s creamy, herby profile.
Boursin is a spreadable garlic-and-herb cheese that brings a bold, savory hit without much effort. It melts into a silky sauce when roasted, marrying perfectly with blistered tomatoes, peppers, and onions. Once combined with al dente pasta and finished with parmesan and fresh herbs, you’ve got a quick, crowd-pleasing dish.
