Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Slice a garlic bulb in half, drizzle it with olive oil, and wrap it tightly in aluminum foil. Place the foil packet on a baking sheet and roast for about 45 minutes, or until the garlic is soft and fragrant.
- Once the roasted garlic has cooled slightly, carefully unwrap the foil and squeeze the cloves out into a bowl. Use a fork or a mortar and pestle to mash the roasted garlic into a smooth paste.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the creamy mashed garlic along with the fresh rosemary and thyme, crushed red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Gradually whisk in the heavy cream, starting with 1/4 cup at a time. Keep whisking for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, ensuring it melts into the sauce. Cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Adjust seasoning as needed.
