Garlic Confit Pink Sauce
Ingredients:
1/2lb pasta
30 cloves of garlic peeled (or however many you want)
Olive oil (enough to fully cover your garlic)
4 tbsp butter
6 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1.5 cups of heavy cream
3/4 cup Parmesan
3/4 cup mozzarella
Salt, pepper, garlic/ onion powder
Basil
Recipe:
Start by making your garlic confit. Add your peeled garlic cloves to a pan and cover with olive oil.
Season this with salt and let the garlic cook on medium heat for 45 minutes or until jammy. Remove the garlic from the oil.
In another pan, add 4 tbsp of butter and a dash of olive oil. Add in as much roasted garlic as you’d like. I did about 30 cloves. The flavor of the garlic is not as strong when it’s cooked this way :)
Smash those until a paste forms and let it cook with the butter for a few minutes.
Then, add in tomato paste and mix that well. Let it darken then add tomato sauce.
Mix in heavy cream and bring your sauce to a simmer. Season to taste then add in your cheeses.
Once your cheese has melted, toss in cooked pasta, pasta water and a handful of fresh basil. Mix well adding pasta water/ cheese as needed until creamy.
Top with more parmesan and enjoy :)
