Roasted Garlic and Mushroom Ricotta Alfredo Sauce
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 head of garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounces of mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups of whole milk
- 1/2 cup of ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 12 ounces of fettuccine pasta
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30-35 minutes until soft and golden. Allow to cool before squeezing out the roasted garlic cloves.
- In a large pot, cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to make a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the roasted garlic cloves, ricotta cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked fettuccine and sautéed mushrooms to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
- Serve the roasted garlic and mushroom ricotta Alfredo sauce immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
