Ingredients
  

1 head of garlic

2 tablespoons olive oil

8 ounces fettuccine pasta

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Extra Parmesan cheese (for serving)

Instructions
 

Roast the Garlic:

    - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

      - Slice off the top of the garlic head to expose the cloves. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and wrap it in aluminum foil.

        - Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the cloves are soft and golden brown. Allow to cool slightly, then squeeze the roasted garlic into a bowl and mash it with a fork.

          Cook the Pasta:

            - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

              Prepare the Alfredo Sauce:

                - In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the mashed roasted garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

                  - Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.

                    - Add salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using), adjusting to taste.

                      Combine Pasta and Sauce:

                        - Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time to reach your desired sauce consistency.

                          Garnish and Serve:

                            - Serve the creamy roasted garlic Alfredo pasta warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and additional grated Parmesan cheese as desired.
