# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice off the top of the garlic head to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 40 minutes.
02 -
While the garlic roasts, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
03 -
Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the cream. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until it's melted and smooth.
04 -
Slowly whisk in some pasta water to thin the sauce to your desired consistency.
05 -
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta.
06 -
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Don't overcook the garlic! It'll get bitter.
02 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
03 -
Nutritional yeast can be a surprisingly good substitute for Parmesan if you're dairy-free.

Serve with a crusty bread for dipping – perfection!
