Rotini with Salmon and Roasted Garlic
- 2 whole heads of garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound rotini or fusilli (corkscrew-shaped pasta)
- 1/2 cup Marsala or white wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 pound salmon, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons drained capers
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Cut the heads of garlic in half crosswise and place on a sheet of foil.
- Drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Fold the foil up and around the garlic, making sure it stays flat, and fold the edges to seal into a tight packet.
- Roast until soft, about 60 minutes.
- Let the garlic cool slightly, then squeeze the cloves out of the skin.
- Mash half of the roasted garlic cloves into a paste with the back of a fork.
- Set aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
- Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Drain.
- Meanwhile, combine the Marsala and chicken broth in a large, heavy skillet and bring to a simmer.
- Add the mashed roasted garlic and stir to dissolve.
- Simmer uncovered for 4 minutes, then add the salmon, cover, and simmer for 4 minutes longer.
- Remove from the heat and add the remaining whole roasted garlic cloves, the lemon zest and juice, rosemary, and the cooked pasta.
- Stir to combine; add the extra-virgin olive oil, capers, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and stir once more.
- Serve immediately.
