Main Ingredients

  • 1 head garlic
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 12 oz fettuccine
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F. Cut the top off the head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30-35 minutes or until soft.
  • In a large pot, combine roasted garlic, chicken broth, and pasta. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until pasta is cooked to your desired tenderness, about 12-15 minutes.
  • Stir in heavy cream and parmesan cheese until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Serving

  • Serve the pasta hot, paired with a side salad or roasted vegetables.

Storage

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
