Creamy Pasta Dinner Without Heavy Cream

This pasta proves you don’t need heavy cream to get that rich, luscious sauce. Instead, it uses milk or your favorite milk alternative with garlic and herbs for a velvety finish. If desired, add peas or spinach for freshness. It’s creamy comfort without the weight - and fully plant-based.
