This 30-Minute Creamy Goat Cheese Pasta with Everything Bagel Spice is so easy to make and tastes just like an everything bagel with cream cheese! It’s sure to become one of your go-to weeknight dinner recipes.
Is anyone else completely obsessed with Trader Joe’s everything bagel spice?! It is so good and I put it on pretty much everything 🙂 Throughout my life, I’ve always had favorite condiments I pour over all of my meals.
When I was a kid, it was Italian dressing, and when I got a little older, it was ranch. Looking back, both seem a little gross to me and were probably not the healthiest choices, but I guess I preferred their taste to whatever else I was eating, haha.
30-Minute Creamy Goat Cheese Pasta Recipe Ingredients
- Pasta – Feel free to use your favorite pasta for this recipe.
- Goat cheese
- Everything bagel spice – Use as much or as little as you like. If you don’t have access to the Trader Joe’s brand, you can make your own seasoning using this recipe!
- Salt
- Fresh parsley – For garnish; this is optional, but I love the addition of some green.
Why I Love This Easy Pasta Dish
- It’s easy to make, only takes about 30 minutes, and requires just three main ingredients! Well, four if you count the salt, but still 🙂
- The goat cheese creates an amazing creamy sauce. It’s probably the easiest cream sauce you will ever make!
- I think I’ve finally gotten over my salad dressing on all foods phase, and I’ve moved on to everything bagel spice! I put it on my toast, eggs, French fries, some salads, and now on my pasta. I hope I haven’t freaked you out yet, because this 30-Minute Creamy Goat Cheese and Everything Bagel Pasta is so good!
- When you season it (liberally) with your everything bagel spice, it becomes the creamiest, most flavorful pasta ever. I hope you trust me on this one and give it a try. It’s like eating an everything bagel with cream cheese in dinner form. 🙂
How To Make This Creamy Everything Bagel Pasta
- Bring a large pot of boiling water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook pasta according to package directions. Before draining, reserve about 1 cup of your cooking water.
- Drain pasta and add it back into the pot over medium heat. Crumble the goat cheese into chunks and add to the pasta. Add a little of the pasta water and start stirring the mixture. Goat cheese should start to melt and become creamy. Add more pasta water to reach the desired consistency of the sauce.
- Season with the desired amount of everything bagel spice. I like to use 2-3 teaspoons. Season with salt to taste and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
