Rosemary & Roasted Garlic Cream Pasta with Mushrooms and Sundried Tomatoes
- 32 ounces, weight Pasta, Prepared
- 12 cloves Garlic
- 1 quart Heavy Cream
- 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
- 13 cups Milk
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Pepper
- 1 stick Butter
- 1 cup Sun-dried Tomatoes, Sliced
- 18 ounces, weight Fresh Mushrooms, Sliced
- 3/4 cups Parmesan Cheese, Shredded Or Grated
- 4 Tablespoons Dried Rosemary
- Bake garlic cloves (unpeeled) on a baking sheet lined with parchment at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes until soft and golden.
- Remove from oven, let cool.
- Peel the cloves, fold over the parchment and use your hands to mash the cloves all together.
- Scrape mashed garlic into a mound and finish up chopping them a bit with a knife, making sure there are no large pieces.
- Add mashed roasted garlic to a large saucepan with the cream.
- Cook while stirring over medium heat, until liquid is reduced and the sauce is thickened*.
- *Note: Heres my little cheat on this part...I take about 1 Tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with about 1/3 cup milk and add it to the pan to thicken up the sauce more quickly.
- Add salt and pepper, then pour cream sauce into a glass bowl and set aside.
- In the same saucepan (you dont even have to wash it), melt 1 stick butter over medium heat.
- Add sundried tomatoes and mushrooms to the butter.
- Saute for just about a minute, then return garlic cream sauce to pan and stir.
- Add 1/2 Cup parmesan cheese and the rosemary.
- Make sure to crumble rosemary between your palms to break up the leaves and release the flavor.
- Add salt and pepper as needed, to taste.
- You can toss the sauce right in with your pasta, or just place atop individual servings.
- If you like, you can slice up a grilled chicken breast and toss with the pasta and sauce.
- Be sure to top with the remaining parmesan cheese, too!
- Use gluten-free pasta to easily make this dish gluten-free.
