Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  7. Add Boursin cheese and chopped artichokes, stirring until cheese melts into the sauce.
  8. Gradually add shredded gruyère cheese and mix until melted and smooth.
  9. Fold the cooked pasta into the cheese mixture, ensuring every piece is coated.
  10. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, top with reserved shredded cheese.
  11. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until top is golden and bubbly. Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes if desired.
  12. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
