How to Make a Creamy Garlic Pasta:

Step 1

Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat, then make sure to season them with salt, and while waiting prepare the rest of the ingredients. Once the water is boiling, add the pasta, then stir it as demonstrated in the video until the pasta is fully submerged in the water, and cook it according to the package instructions until al dente.

Step 2

While waiting for the pasta to cook, place a pan on a stove over medium heat, and add the olive oil. Let it heat up for around 1 minute, then add the chopped garlic, and give them a good toss. Saute the garlic for a minute or until fragrant, then add the flour, mix continuously, and cook for about 2 minutes.

Add the dried oregano and milk, then continue to stir them until combined, and let it cook for about 4 minutes or until thickened. Turn off the heat, then season it with salt and pepper, drain off all the water of the cooked spaghetti, and add it to the creamy sauce. Give them a good mix, then sprinkle the chopped parsley, and serve. Enjoy!
