These Carbs Don't Count
June 7, 2025
This Lemon Cream Pasta with Roasted Garlic is rich, tangy, and ultra-satisfying. A whole head of garlic is slow-roasted until soft and caramelized, then mashed into melted butter to create a deep, savory base. Heavy cream and fresh lemon juice add velvety texture and brightness, while Parmesan cheese delivers creamy depth and umami. Tossed with perfectly al dente pasta and a splash of pasta water, this simple yet elegant dish is perfect for weeknights or date nights alike.
