Time 15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (1 lb) box penne or 1 (1 lb) box penne rigate, cooked as directed, drained and kept hot
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup chicken broth or 3/4 cup beef broth
3/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons parsley flakes
salt and pepper, to taste
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Melt butter and add garlic in a medium sauce pan.

  • Add flour and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  • Stir in broth and milk and cook, stirring frequently, until sauce boils and thickens.
  • Add parsley, salt, pepper and cheese.
  • Stir until cheese is melted.
  • Toss hot pasta with sauce and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your roasted garlic penne. Look for ripe, juicy tomatoes, fragrant basil, and creamy Parmesan cheese.
  • Roast the garlic until it's golden brown: Roasting the garlic brings out its sweetness and mellows its flavor. Roast it until it's soft and caramelized, but not burned.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the garlic, make sure to spread it out in a single layer so that it cooks evenly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: Simmering the sauce for at least 30 minutes will help to develop its flavor and thicken it.
  • Add the pasta to the sauce: Once the sauce is simmering, add the pasta and cook it according to the package directions.
  • Serve immediately: Creamy roasted garlic penne is best served immediately, while the pasta is still hot and the sauce is creamy.

Conclusion:

Creamy roasted garlic penne is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The roasted garlic gives the sauce a rich, flavorful taste, and the creamy Parmesan cheese makes it extra decadent. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
