Ingredients
- 10 oz pasta (rigatoni)
- 3 tbsp butter (salted)
- 3/4 tsp garlic (crushed)
- 1 1/2 tbsp flour (all purpose)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup sour cream (full fat)
- 1 bunch chives (chopped)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper (optional)
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
- 1
Cook the pasta as per package instructions. Drain and keep aside, but reserve some of the pasta water for loosening the sauce later if required.
- 2
In a large pan, melt the butter on low heat and add the garlic. Sauté for a few seconds. Don't let the garlic brown up.

Add the flour little by little, stirring as you go along so it doesn’t clump up.

Add the milk and let the sauce thicken. Stir it continuously as the sauce will thicken in a few seconds. If the sauce becomes too thick, add some of the reserved pasta water. If using the black pepper and red pepper flakes, add them in now. Take the pan off the heat and let the sauce cool down.
