Boursin and Shrimp Rigatoni
Garlic & Herb Boursin Cheese
Large Shrimp, Cherry Tomatoes
Tender rigatoni pasta, cooked to a perfect al dente bite, is coated in a velvety sauce made from melted Boursin cheese, which brings a creamy, herb-flecked richness with a generous kiss of garlic.
Burst cherry tomatoes, blistered until juicy and sweet, add bright pops of flavor and color throughout the dish. Nestled among the pasta are plump large shrimp, cooked until just opaque, offering a succulent contrast to the creamy sauce. Finished with plenty fresh basil this dish is comforting yet elegant — a restaurant-worthy meal with pantry-friendly ease that comes together in less than a half hour.
The story of Boursin Cheese started with one man, François Boursin. In 1957, this young Normandy cheesemaker opened a cheese factory in Croisy-sur-Eure, a small community nestled in northern France. His own original recipe was inspired by fromage frais, a traditional French party dish that blended garlic, fresh cream, soft cheese, herbs, salt and pepper.

A most memorable meal at Ferraro’s inspired me to recreate one of their many fabulous menu items: the Pappardelle Mimmo. This seafood pasta, a favorite of the chef, was simply outstanding. We shared all our dishes at dinner and agreed that the pappardelle is now one of our favorites too.
Established in 1985, Ferraro’s Ristorante is located near the Las Vegas Strip. It is a family-owned business that prides itself on offering authentic Italian cuisine with a focus on traditional methods and recipes, high-quality seasonal ingredients, and homemade “everything” including sausage, meatballs, pastas, breads, desserts and more.
The restaurant is especially noted for its warm inviting atmosphere, superb service, and extensive wine list that features a wide selection of Italian and international wines. It’s no wonder that Ferraro’s has garnered a loyal following among Las Vegas locals and visitors alike…and that Gambero Rosso recently recognized them as one of the top Italian restaurants in the world.
