  • Large pot with water
  • 1/2 Tbsp chunky sea salt
  • 1 lb Pappardelle pasta
  • 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 head roasted garlic
  • 3 Tbsp butter
  • 3/4 cup salty pasta water
  • 2/3 finely grated fresh parmesan
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  • Cut the top off the garlic head and then wrap it in tin foil, leaving the top open. Broil for 10 minutes. Then close the top and broil for 5 minutes. When done, let cool.
  • Add the large pot of water to the stove and add 1/2 Tbsp of sea salt. Bring to a boil and cook the noodles per package directions. Make sure to reserve the pasta water!
  • Warm a large saute pan and add 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the roasted garlic cloves and crush with a wooden spoon. Let them cook for 3 minutes, stirring regularly to keep the garlic from burning.
  • Add the butter and stir until it melts. Then add the salty pasta water.
  • Once everything is well combined, add the pasta noodles and coat them. Remove from the heat.
  • Add the parmesan and mix. Then add the fresh parsley, basil, sea salt and pepper and toss.
