This is one for the garlic lovers, for a weeknight where you need something easy and quick, but delicious and a little decadent.
If you want, you can stir in some baby spinach for extra greens. I used soy milk for the base, as I find it more creamy than other milks, but almond milk should work well too (I wouldn’t use oat milk because it might get a bit gelatinous when cooked).
