INSTRUCTIONS
*NOTE: To roast garlic, choose large heads. Cut the top off to expose the
cloves (a serrated knife is best to do this). Place the head in a square of
aluminum foil with the head facing up. Drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons
olive oil. Seal aluminum foil and roast for 1 hour in a 350 degree oven.
Let cool, separate heads into cloves and pinch each clove to squeeze out
the garlic. Place roasted garlic into a blender or food processor. Add the
olive oil and 1/4 cup cream and whirl until garlic is pulverized. Add rest
of the cream, sour cream, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Whirl to
combine. Sauce will be thick at this point. Set aside. Cook pasta al dente;
drain. Melt butter in a skillet. Add pasta and toss with the butter until
coated. Add the sauce, cook and stir until sauce becomes thin. Simmer for
10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve immediately with extra parmesan
cheese sprinkled on top. Recipe from and typed by Lynn Thomas dcqp82a.
