Simple ingredients, less than 20 minutes and you have a delicious syn free creamy garlic pasta which you will want to make again and again.

If you are like me, then you love creamy pasta sauces, but not just any pasta sauce, creamy is always at the top of my list as it always feels so luxurious and dreamy.

Usually, anything creamy, means high syns and most of us don’t like to use all our syns on a meal, especially if we like that little treat later on in the day.

This sauce is delicious, garlicky and creamy and is completely SYN FREE when using your healthy extra A choice – meaning you can enjoy this AND that bit of chocolate later.  Perfect!!

When I first created this recipe I made the sauce separately and added in the cooked pasta at the end. But recently I’ve been preferring one-pot pasta dishes. Cooking the pasta in the sauce, means the starch that gets released into the water, helps the sauce to become velvety and thick and of course one pot, means less washing up afterwards, which is always a plus in my book.

This recipe has quite a bit of garlic added to it – it is a creamy garlic pasta after all. Garlic has such a lovely sweet flavour when it’s cooked, so it’s important to ensure you don’t try to rush that part of the recipe, there is nothing worse than raw or burnt garlic in a recipe. Using spray oil means you have to be really careful with the heat under your pan. Don’t be tempted to turn up the heat to try and cook it quickly, as it just won’t work.

Once I fry my onions and garlic a little in the spray oil to infuse the flavour, I always then add a little water. It’s a great little trick, that really helps to soften the onions and garlic without drying them out and burning. You can use this trick for all kinds of vegetables – kale, mushrooms etc. If you want more flavour, you can even use a little bit of stock instead of the water. A trick I use here with my Sauteed Garlic Mushrooms.
