ROASTED GARLIC ALFREDO SAUCE
I served this oh-so-garlicky and wonderful sauce over portabello ravioli with a salad, garlic bread and a lovely Pinot Gris. What a treat! Turned frozen prepared pasta into a simple, yet gourmet meal. Next time, I think I will add steamed broccoli to the pasta bowls before adding the sauce.

Steps:
- Slice top off garlic head and wrap in foil. Bake at 350F for 30-45 minutes. Cool and squeeze garlic paste from cloves. Note: I always pour olive oil over the garlic head before baking/roasting.
- Heat cream in a skillet or saucepan.
- Whisk in parmesan cheese and garlic, until thick and smooth.
- Reduce heat, add salt (or thyme) and pepper to taste.
- Serve over hot cooked pasta.

Steps:
- Remove cloves of roasted garlic from the head and mash with a fork until smooth and pasty. This can also be done in a food processor if you'd like.
- In a medium saucepan over MED-LOW heat, add butter and melt.
- Pour in heavy whipping cream and roasted garlic paste. Stir and heat to a simmer.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese and whisk until smooth.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp heavy whipping cream and 2 tsp cornstarch (or flour), and whisk until smooth.
- Add the cornstarch and heavy cream mixture (it will be a thick paste-like consistency), whisking as you add it to remove any lumps and fully incorporate it into the sauce.
- Continue to whisk and simmer until sauce has thickened to a classic cream sauce consistency. This may take a few minutes, or it could happen quicker, it all depends on your stovetop and saucepan.
