Method
Check off steps while cooking so you keep the flow.
Develop flavors: spray a little olive oil in a pot and fry the onion until golden. Add the garlic, tomato paste and spices and mix for a minute to "open" the flavors.
The pasta and the water: add the dry pasta and the boiling water. Bring to a boil, cover and cook over low heat until the pasta softens a little and the liquid has reduced a little.
The creamy magic: mix well the milk, cream and cornstarch in a glass (no lumps!) and pour into a pot.
Finish: add the sweetener and basil, stir for a minute or two over low heat until the sauce thickens and wraps the pasta perfectly.
That's it, your meal is ready! ✨
Small tips that make a difference
- Whisk the cornstarch into cold milk before heating to avoid lumps.
- Finish the pasta in the sauce for a final minute so it absorbs.
Frequently asked questions
- How is the sauce creamy without heavy cream?
- A combination of milk, a little light cream and cornstarch gives a fully creamy texture at far fewer calories.
- How long does it take?
- About 15 minutes start to finish in one pot, which makes it ideal for a busy weeknight.
- Can I add protein?
- Definitely. Seared chicken breast, tuna or pulses all fit well and turn it into a complete meal.
