EQUIPMENT

Notes

  • To roast garlic, chop the top off of a whole head of garlic and place it in aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap the garlic before roasting it for 45 minutes in a 400-degree Fahrenheit oven.
  • If you want to take it up a notch, add a light drizzle of truffle oil to the sauce just before serving.
  • For best results, use the highest quality artisanal cheeses you can find.
