Cooking Instructions
  1. Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, about 7-9 minutes. Drain and reserve a cup of pasta water.
  2. In the same pot, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in flour to create a roux, then gradually whisk in heavy cream until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add Boursin and white cheddar to the thickened sauce, stirring until melted and creamy. Adjust thickness with reserved pasta water if needed.
  4. Fold the drained pasta into the cheese sauce until fully coated.
  5. In a skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and toast the breadcrumbs for 3-5 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Transfer the pasta and cheese mixture to a greased baking dish, top with toasted breadcrumbs. Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes until bubbly.
