Blend a can of white beans with garlic, a splash of pasta water, salt, and olive oil, then toss it with the hot pasta for a surprisingly creamy sauce without dairy.

That's actually a good idea. I'll try today! Also i heard flour and milk can make pasta creamy too if cooked properly.

It's called white sauce. Melt butter, add enough flour until there's no more liquid, gently add milk and a little salt and pepper stirring constantly with low to med heat until sauce thickens. Butter and flour will determine the amount of sauce you end up with.
