My (keeping My Husband Amazed And Happy) Roasted Garlic Alfredo

Total Time: 2 hrs 30 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients

  • Servings: 15
  • 1 -2 whole bulb of garlic (roasted)
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 2 tablespoons wine
  • 1/2 gallon milk, reserve 1 cup for later use (i use whole or 1%)
  • 4 cups heavy cream or 4 cups half-and-half
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper or 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 cup wine (drink some and toss the rest in!)
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 3 cups mozzarella cheese (i know this sounds weird, but you'll love it)
  • 3 cups grated parmesan cheese (use a good kind a grate it yourself)
  • 3 cups grated asiago cheese

Recipe

  • 1 start with roasting you bulbs of garlic. make a pouch with tin foil, adding the the garlic, cooking oil and some wine. then i just use my toaster oven set on 375-400°f for about 45 minutes to an hour placing the sealed pouch in the center of you toaster oven.
  • 2 combine milk (remember to reserve one cup of milk for later use) heavy cream, salt, pepper and wine in a large pot (i use my large crock pot). let it simmer and reduce.
  • 3 when the garlic is done roasting i put it in a blender or you could just mash it up with a spoon or the side of your knife. it should be really mushy any way. whisk the garlic into the sauce.
  • 4 now pour the reserved 1 cup of milk into a small bowl adding the flour and mixing well. stir into the sauce, this is to thicken the sauce and to keep the cheese from clumping up.
  • 5 once the sauce starts to come together it is time to add you cheese. i know it seems like a lot but it isn't. i stir the sauce keeping the cheese off the bottom as it might burn. i don't care for the lumpy-ness of it so i use an immersion blender to smooth it out.
  • 6 cook you choice of pasta or dip bread sticks in it. enjoy!
