🧂 Ingredients

1 In a small pot over medium to low heat add the butter. Once melted and bubbly
toss in the shallots with a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to low and cook down.
Cook until medium brown in color, this will take approximately 10-12 minutes,
mixing every 30 seconds, depending on how low the heat is.
2 While waiting for shallots to finish, cook pasta as per packaging in salty
water. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water. Drain and place on the side.
3 Once caramelized shallots are done, make sure the heat is on low and add in the
Boursin. Combine with the shallots. This will not resemble a sauce, just a mound
of cheese with shallots.
4 Add in 2 tbsp of pasta water to loosen up the shallot Boursin. Cook for 15-30
seconds and toss in your pasta. If it is still too thick add in another tbsp of
pasta water. Serve as is or with crispy shallots on top.
5 In a small pot add about 1/2 inch of canola or vegetable oil, and heat over
medium heat. Once hot drop in slices shallots and cook for 15-20 minutes until
medium brown in color. With a fork move them around every few minutes to
separate the rings and to ensure even cooking. Careful! these shallots go from
light brown to burnt easily so keep a close eye.
