    Drain the pasta al dente and transfer it to the pan together with a ladle of the cooking water 7, then toss everything. Meanwhile, put the crescenza in a bowl, add 2 ladles of pasta cooking water 8 and blend with an immersion blender until you get a smooth cream 9.

  4. 4

    Turn off the heat, add the cream 10 and mix well. Plate and complete with more seasoning 11. Your creamy garlic, oil, and chili pasta is ready to be enjoyed 12!
