Garlic Parmesan Sauce

This Garlic Parmesan Sauce is not only creamy and delicious, but it's ready in about the same time it takes to cook pasta. Coincidence? I think not!

Ingredients

16 oz. spaghetti or linguine
4 Tbsp unsalted butter
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
¾ cup whole or 2% milk
1 head roasted garlic (10-12 cloves; see note) coarsely chopped
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1¼ cups grated Parmesan cheese
¾ cup heavy cream
fresh Italian parsley chopped

Instructions

Cook pasta according to package instructions; drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, using a heavy saucepan, add butter and place over medium heat until butter has completely melted.
Add flour and stir well. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent flour from burning.
Add chicken stock, milk, chopped roasted garlic, salt and pepper; stir mixture until smooth.
Bring mixture to a simmer and cook on low heat, stirring often, for 8-10 minutes.
Add Parmesan cheese and heavy cream; stir until smooth.
Place cooked pasta in a large skillet; add cream sauce and toss until well coated. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until heated through. Garnish with freshly chopped Italian parsley before serving.

Notes

Roasted garlic is easy to make at home, and I always keep some in the freezer. However, if your grocery store has an olive bar in the deli department, they might have roasted garlic on the bar, too.
