Ingredients

• 2 whole Garlic bulbs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Slice the tops off the garlic bulbs to expose the cloves slightly. Place them on a piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 3

Wrap the garlic bulbs tightly in the foil and roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the garlic is golden and soft.

Step 4

Once roasted, allow the garlic to cool slightly. Squeeze the softened garlic cloves out of their skins and mash into a paste using a fork. Set aside.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the milk and heavy cream while whisking to avoid lumps. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the roasted garlic paste and grated Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Step 8

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

If desired, garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy immediately over pasta, roasted vegetables, or grilled chicken.
