For an even richer flavor, use a high-quality extra virgin olive oil. Feel free to add other vegetables to the baking dish, such as cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, or zucchini. If you don't have shallots, you can substitute with a small yellow onion. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 400°F (200°C). (5 minutes)
02
StepUnwrap the Boursin cheese and place it in the center of an 8x8-inch baking dish.
03
StepCut the top off the garlic head to expose the cloves. Place the garlic in the baking dish, cut-side up. Add the lemon halves, cut-side down, and sliced shallot to the dish. Sprinkle with black pepper and oregano. Drizzle with olive oil.
04
StepBake for 30 minutes, or until the garlic is soft and fragrant and the lemon is slightly caramelized.
05
StepRemove from oven and let cool slightly for 5 minutes. Squeeze the juice from the roasted lemon halves into the dish, being careful to avoid any seeds. Squeeze the roasted garlic head to release the softened cloves into the sauce.
06
StepMix all ingredients in the baking dish until a smooth, creamy sauce forms. (2 minutes)
07
StepAdd the cooked pasta to the baking dish and stir to coat evenly with the sauce. (2 minutes)
08
StepServe immediately, garnished with fresh lemon zest and crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.
