Ingredients
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp hemp oil
1 1/2 tbsp flour
1 cup milk
125 grams feta, cubed
1 1/2 cups frozen peas, defrosted
1/4 cup basil
Method
Cook penne pasta according to the instructions on the packaging. Drain and let sit.
In a large skillet over medium heat add the oil and garlic, cook until fragrant.
Next, add the flour, and whisk to form a paste. Allow this oil-flour paste to cook, whisking constantly, for approx. 1 minute.
Add milk in slowly, whisking as you go. Turn the heat to medium and stir constantly until the sauce comes to a delicate simmer and thickens slightly.
Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring, until sauce is thick, approx. 3 minutes.
Add peas and half of the feta to the sauce and stir until incorporated. Season with salt and pepper (if desired).
Toss the penne into the finished sauce. Salt to taste. Top the finished pasta with basil & the rest of the feta cheese. Enjoy
