One-Pot Roasted Garlic Pasta

One-Pot Roasted Garlic Pasta

While roasting garlic can typically take close to an hour, this creamy pasta captures those sweet, nutty, mellow flavors in just 35 minutes, no roasting required. To replicate the toastiness, the process starts by gently frying the cloves in olive oil until they develop a golden-brown exterior. Because garlic can burn easily, you’ll want to keep the sizzle slow and steady and ensure the cloves are in near-constant motion. Simmering the fried garlic in water delivers two things: the characteristic roasted garlic tenderness and a flavorful stock, which becomes your base for the fragrant pasta sauce. A splash of cream and a drizzle of garlic-infused olive oil are incorporated into the starch-heavy pasta water for an irresistibly silky sauce from just a handful of ingredients.
