This Garlic Confit Pasta focuses on technique rather than shortcuts. Garlic is slow-cooked in olive oil to soften its bite and unlock sweetness, then folded into pasta using controlled heat and starchy water. The result is a glossy, clingy sauce that feels rich without cream and remains warm, satisfying, and comforting to enjoy anytime.
