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.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Roasted Garlic Technique 🧄Wrap the whole garlic head in aluminum foil with a drizzle of olive oil to ensure even, gentle roasting that caramelizes without burning.
- Pasta Water Magic 💧Always reserve 1 cup of starchy pasta water before draining - it's the secret to creating a silky, emulsified sauce that clings perfectly to the pasta.
- Lemon Zest Boost 🍋Grate some fresh lemon zest into the sauce alongside the juice for a more complex, aromatic citrus flavor that elevates the entire dish.
- Cream Sauce Stability 🥄Remove the pan from direct heat when adding heavy cream to prevent curdling, and stir continuously to maintain a smooth, velvety texture.
- Cheese Integration Trick 🧀Grate Parmesan fresh and add it off the heat, stirring gently to prevent clumping and ensure a creamy, even distribution throughout the sauce.
