Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces pasta for serving, I used penne
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1.5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups warm milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 cup parsley chopped
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella

Instructions
 

  • Cook the pasta: bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the pasta, and cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium low. Add the garlic and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until it becomes lightly brown. Add the butter, flour, and 1/4 cup of milk, and stir for 3-4 minutes until a roux forms and the flour has no more lumps. Pour the remainder of the milk into the sauce and simmer over low/medium heat until a thick sauce forms.
  • Add chopped parsley. If you're adding sautéed mushrooms, veggies, or any add ins (like cooked chicken) now would be the time.
  • Add the mozzarella, salt, and black pepper, and cooked pasta into the pan. Heat for 2-3 minutes until the mozzarella has melted. Toss well and enjoy!
