Cook Time 30 minutes mins
Ingredients
- 500 g home-made fettuccine (cooked and drained) or store-bought spelt pasta
- 2 cups milk (goat is best but cow is fine for those who don't like goat milk)
- 3-4 tbsp parmesan cheese
- 3-4 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp creeping thyme
- 1 tsp basil
- 1 tsp sage
- 2 tbsp heaping tbsp light flour mixed with 50-60 ml of water
- 1/2 tsp bertram
- 1/2 tsp galangal
Instructions
- Finely dice the garlic cloves and roast them in a pot with butter over low to medium heat. Keep 2 cups of milk ready, as the garlic can brown quickly, and you don’t want it to burn. Once you smell the garlic aroma and see it turning slightly golden, add the milk and increase the heat to medium. Add herbs, spices, and Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously to prevent the cheese from sticking to the pot. When the milk is almost boiling, reduce the heat to low and add the flour mixed with water. Continue to cook and stir to avoid lumps. Increase the heat slightly. After about 5 minutes of cooking and stirring, the sauce will thicken. It’s ready to serve with pasta, seafood, or kidney beans.
