Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 to 2 heads roasted garlic -- * see note
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup parmesan cheese -- grated
salt -- to taste
fresh ground pepper -- to taste
14 oz. pkg. frozen or fresh tortellini OR
1 pound fettucine
1 tablespoon butter (up to 2 tbsp.)

*NOTE: To roast garlic, choose large heads. Cut the top off to expose
the cloves (a serrated knife is best to do this). Place the head in a
square of aluminum foil with the head facing up. Drizzle with 1 to 2
tablespoons olive oil. Seal aluminum foil and roast for 1 hour in a
350 degree oven. Let cool, separate heads into cloves and pinch each
clove to squeeze out the garlic.
Place roasted garlic into a blender or food processor. Add the
olive oil and 1/4 cup cream and whirl until garlic is pulverized. Add
rest of the cream, sour cream, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
Whirl to combine. Sauce will be thick at this point. Set aside. Cook
pasta al dente; drain. Melt butter in a skillet. Add pasta and toss
with the butter until coated. Add the sauce, cook and stir until
sauce becomes thin. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Serve immediately with extra parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. Recipe
