Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups farfalle pasta
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3-4 garlic cloves, chopped
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup cream
- 1/4 cup goat cheese
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon pepper powder
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the farfalle pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour over the garlic and butter mixture, stirring constantly for about 1 minute to form a roux. Ensure no lumps form.
- Gradually whisk in the milk and cream, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the goat cheese and Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring until the cheeses have melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Stir in the chili flakes and pepper powder. Season with salt to taste.
- Add the cooked farfalle pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the pasta is heated through.
- Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and chili flakes if desired.
Notes
For a spicier dish, increase the amount of chili flakes. This pasta is best served immediately but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of milk to loosen the sauce if needed.
