Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (5.2 ounce) container Boursin cheese
2 cups cherry tomatoes
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¾ pound frozen Italian-style meatballs
2 cups penne pasta

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Pour olive oil into a 9-inch square baking dish. Place Boursin cheese in the middle of the dish. Add cherry tomatoes around the cheese, then sprinkle garlic, salt, and pepper over top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven; crush the tomatoes and mix with the melted cheese.
Add frozen meatballs and return to the oven; bake until meatballs are heated through, about 15 more minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
Remove meatballs and tomato mixture from the oven. Add pasta and mix until well combined. Serve immediately.
