![]() If you can’t find rigatoni at your local grocery store, penne is a good substitute. I love using rigatoni in this dish because the tube-shaped noodles with ridges on the outside hold all of the delicious meat sauce. But hey! Everyone is different, so I guess others will like this recipe even though I didn’t.This one pot pasta meal is delicious as-is, but feel free to change things up to customize it to your family’s preferences and what you have available. Now I will happily admit that it really was a quick and easy recipe to make, but unfortunately, the taste just didn’t satisfy me. (It honestly tasted like nothingness and it was just floury). The first bite I took was alright, but the more I ate, the more I disliked the taste of it. In my honest opinion, it didn’t taste as yummy as I had envisioned it to be. So I followed all of the recipe’s instructions and the appearance actually turned out pretty decent, obviously not exactly like the one in the images above (my sauce was a little bit thicker) but it looked alright. I did read the reviews before making the recipe, around half of them were positive and the other half were negative, so I was having some doubts with this recipe, but I just decided to go with it anyways because I didn’t really have another recipe that I was willing to make. I’m 15 years old and I decided to choose this recipe to cook for my Food Technology Assignment. Since I'm on such a garlic train here, help me out: what are your favorite garlic dishes? Or comfort foods in general? I can't really drown myself in creamy garlic butter pasta every day (or can I?) so. Did I mention you need to like garlic? You definitely need to like garlic. Once the sauce and pasta are both done, toss them together and enjoy a ridiculously garlicky, creamy, comforting meal. Then BLEND IT UP! I didn't want any garlic chunks in my pasta - this is a smooth creamy sauce, remember? Blend up the butter and garlic, then return it to the pan to make a quick roux before adding the milk or cream to finish the sauce. Let it cook for a minute or so, really getting that garlicky flavor into the butter. First, melt the butter and add the garlic. This stuff is not messing around!Īll in all, this sauce comes together really quickly. So, when I made this pasta, I wanted it to be garlicky! It's cheap, it's hard to mess up, and it totally fulfills my "I miss home and need comfort!" craving. Since we started our travels in Asia, eight months ago, I've had one constant when it comes to comfort food - garlic! Pretty much every mid-level restaurant in Vietnam, as well as the other countries we've visited, has garlic bread on the menu. ![]() If, for some crazy reason, I am out of the necessary ingredients (tortillas, beans, cheese) to make a bean & cheese quesadilla: PASTA! Or, if I've already had a quesadilla that day: PASTA! Or, if I'm living in Asia and have yet to find good refried beans and cheddar: PASTA! Mashed potatoes and burgers usually require too much effort (especially when I'm like I NEED COMFORT FOOD STAT!). As much as I love eating vegetables and healthy stuff, it's much more common for me to really want something comforting - bean & cheese quesadilla, mashed potatoes, burgers, and pasta.
