Notes
*can also use ground pork or ground turkey **this recipe can be made with gluten free pasta or regular pasta ***any type of milk works well, cow or plant based milks (I've used cow's milk and almond milk before) Depending on the brand of pasta and the size of the pan, you may need a little bit more or less liquid. Add extra broth or water as needed. 1 tsp garlic powder can be substituted for the garlic cloves
