We always serve at least one pasta dish at our Chanukah parties. They’re dairy, delicious, and everyone’s favorite. I first tasted this at a sheva berachot and thought it was over the top. I broke my diet (for a change!) and even had doubles! The sour cream, milk, and heavy cream combine to coat the pasta with a really delectable sauce. It’s different, too, because it doesn’t have any hard cheese, as most pasta dishes do. It can even be made with whole wheat pasta. Thanks to my daughter-in-law, Shoshi, for this amazing recipe.

Ingredients

Main ingredients

  •  12–14 ounces (340–400 grams) pasta, such as Tuscanini Fusili Pasta or any pasta of your choice, cooked according to package instructions
