- 1 clove minced garlic
- 2 cups unsweetened full-fat non dairy milk such as oat milk use regular whole milk if you're not dairy-free

Instructions
How To Make Creamy Garlic Pasta
- Begin by preparing your pasta noodles as instructed on the packaging. Once the noodles are tender, strain off the excess water and set them aside.
- To make the creamy garlic sauce, add the olive oil and minced garlic to a large pot and bring to medium heat on the stovetop. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring, until the garlic is golden and fragrant.
- Pour in the unsweetened milk, shredded cheese, and cook stirring for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted. Slowly begin to whisk in the flour to avoid lumps. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the creamy garlic sauce from the heat and fold in your cooked and strained pasta. Option to fold in spinach for extra nutrients, flavor, and a pop of color. Serve warm.
