• Cut bread loaf into 1-inch slices and spread garlic mixture over each slice. Place each on a baking sheet. Wrap with additional aluminum foil.

GARLIC PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.
• In a skillet, saute garlic in oil on low heat, just hot enough to make the garlic sizzle; about 10 to 15 minutes. Season with basil, oregano, parsley, and crushed red pepper, and remove from heat.
• In a large bowl, toss cooked pasta with garlic and herb mixture, and let sit for 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan, and serve.

GARLIC PASTE

Steps:

• Slice the garlic.
• Add salt.
• Begin to crush until salt has dissolved.
• Now add 1/2 tps of Virgin Olive Oil and stir in until it disappears.
• Once the garlic has absorbed the oil add another 1/2 tps and repeat.
• If you keep doing this 3 cloves of garlic will then become a whole bowl of garlic paste.
• It is time consuming but the results pay off.
• Its fantastic as it keeps well and you can use it whenever required for cooking.
• It tastes great on bbq or grilled chicken.

ROASTED GARLIC PASTA

Steps:

• While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter over low heat. Add the roasted garlic and stir it around while sort of mashing it in the butter. Turn off the heat.
• Transfer the pasta from the boiling water to the pan with the butter using tongs. Reserve 1/2 cup or so of the cooking water.
• Toss the pasta in the butter and garlic. Add both the starchy pasta water and the cheese a little bit at a time and continue tossing the pasta until the cheese has melted and the pasta is coated in a creamy sauce. if needed, turn the burner on low to help things along with more heat.
• Garnish with ground black pepper, to taste.

HOW TO ROAST GARLIC

Steps:

• If you are using a ceramic/terra cotta garlic roaster, submerge it in water for 15 minutes before placing it in the oven.
• Cut the top 1/4" off the garlic bulb(s).
• Place in the garlic baker or on top of a sheet of aluminum foil.
• Drizzle with a little olive oil. Add herb sprig, if using.
• Add the lid or wrap up with foil and place in a cold oven.
• Bake for 50 to 60 minutes at 350F.
• Scoop the roasted bulbs out of each shell.
• Use immediately or store in the fridge covered in a little olive oil for up to 1 week. You can freeze it for longer storage to use in soups. But why would you freeze this goodness?

HOW TO ROAST GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F.
• Cut the top 1/2 inch from garlic bulb (straight across the top so you cut into just the tops of the cloves). Place garlic bulb in a ramekin, drizzle with olive oil and cover with foil.
• Roast for 30-40 minutes or until garlic is very soft and lightly browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
• Squeeze the garlic out of its skin and into a small dish. Mash with a fork and use as desired.

GARLIC PASTE

Steps:

• Combine the ingredients in a blender and pulse until smooth. Scrape the garlic down the sides as needed.
• Store the garlic paste in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to six months. I suggest storing the garlic paste in 1 teaspoon cubes using this tiny cube silicone tray.
