Boil the 2 cups of pasta (shell shape) and set them aside. In a bowl, mix the 2 packs of Labneh with 2 ½ cups of water (or less), a pinch of salt, and 1 or 2 crushed garlic cloves. Stir well until the mix- ture is slightly thick. You can add ½ cup of the pasta boiling water if desired. Adjust the salt.

In a separate pan, fry pine nuts with butter (be careful not to burn the butter). Sprinkle the fried pine nuts over the pasta.
