Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion
8 cloves garlic
1 tsp dried oregano
3 1/2 cups vegetable broth
8 oz penne pasta
4 oz light cream cheese
1/2 cup finely grated Manchego cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
pinch sea salt
dash black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in the olive oil
In the meantime, finely chop the onion and roughly chop the garlic, then add into the pan with the hot olive oil, mix continuously
After 3 to 4 minutes and the onion is translucent, add in the dried oregano, quickly mix together, then add in the vegetable broth and season with sea salt & black pepper, raise to a high heat and gently mix together
Once it comes to a boil add in the pasta, mix every 2 minutes so the pasta evenly cooks and it doesn´t stick together
While the pasta is cooking, add the cream cheese at room temperature into a bowl, along with the grated cheese and chopped parsley, season with a kiss of sea salt & black pepper, using a spoon push down on the mixture and mix until everything is well mixed together
After 9 to 10 minutes and most of the broth has been absorbed by the pasta but there is still plenty of broth left, place a lid on the pan and lower to a low-medium heat, simmer for 2 to 4 minutes or until the pasta is cooked al dente
Once the pasta is cooked al dente remove the lid and turn off the heat, add in the cream cheese mixture and gently mix together until well mixed and you end up with a creamy pasta
Serve directly out of the pan or transfer into serving dishes
