Method

• Cook 1 cup of pasta as per the instruction. I cook for some extra minutes than mentioned in the pack. I usually cook pasta in boiling water for 12 min. It gives a soft and completely cooked pasta.
• In the mean time the pasta is getting ready, chop onion into fine peaces. Mince the garlic.
  
• In a pan/kadai, add a tablespoon of olive oil. When it becomes hot throw in mined garlic and finely chopped onion. Fry till onions are translucent and raw smell goes off from garlic. 
  
• Now add 1 1/2 tablespoon pepper, 1/2 tablespoon dried oregano and salt as per your taste. Stir it well for a minute.
  
• Now add 1/2 cup milk and allow it to boil. When the milk is boiling, add mozzarella cheese and stir until the cheese melts and blends completely.
  
• Thrown in the cooked pasta and give a stir.
  
• Add two tablespoon of cream and mix it thoroughly. Cook for another 2-3 min and the Cream and Onion pasta is ready.
  
• I have just topped it with cherry tomatoes and I love the taste of these tomatoes. This could be totally your choice to add them or not. Serve pasta hot.
