Ingredients

• 1 Whole garlic bulb
• 2 teaspoons Olive oil
• 6 slices Thick-cut bacon
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 ounces Cream cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 pinch Nutmeg (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Slice off the top of the garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons of olive oil, wrap it tightly in aluminum foil, and roast in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden brown.

Step 3

While the garlic roasts, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the cooked bacon, place it on a paper towel-lined plate, and crumble it once cooled. Set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and mash them into a paste using a fork. Stir the garlic paste into the melted butter.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking constantly to incorporate the butter and garlic mixture. Heat the cream until it starts to gently simmer; do not boil.

Step 6

Add the grated Parmesan cheese and cream cheese, whisking until fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Season the sauce with salt, ground black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg, if using.

Step 8

Crumble the cooked bacon into the sauce and stir to combine.

Step 9

Remove the sauce from the heat and serve immediately over your favorite pasta, as a pizza base, or as a dip.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
