Sometimes you just need a big bowl of comfort food and this pasta is one of my go-tos for those days. All you do is boil some pasta, fry some garlic and onion and throw all the ingredients for the sauce into a blender to make it super creamy. It couldn't be easier. I'll sometimes add some crispy oven-baked kale on the top or stir some spinach in if I want more greens, but it's also delicious just as it is.
