Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

Cut the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap tightly in aluminum foil.

3

Place the wrapped garlic bulb in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden brown.

4

While the garlic is roasting, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

5

Once the garlic is roasted, squeeze the cloves out of the skins into a small bowl. Mash the cloves with a fork until smooth.

6

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the roasted garlic paste and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

7

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

8

Remove from heat and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese melts and coats the pasta evenly.

9

Serve hot and enjoy!
