Secret Cafe Style Creamy Tomato Pasta (no grinding )

Heat oil and butter in a pan on medium flame. Place the halved tomatoes cut-side down. Scatter the whole garlic cloves and chopped onions in the open spaces around the tomatoes.

Cover with a lid and cook for 4–5 minutes. The tomato skins will wrinkle/blister, and the garlic will turn buttery-soft.

Add chili flakes, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Pour in the 1/4 cup of hot reserved pasta water , 1/2 Cup Milk and stir well for 1–2 minutes until the sauce turns thick and glossy.

Add the boiled pasta directly into the sauce. Toss well to coat every piece. Top with cheese or herbs and serve piping hot.
