Garlic

I bought a 5 pound bag of garlic cloves last week. I'm roasting some tonight to make a pasta dish.

What are some of your fave dishes using roasted garlic?

The pasta dish is whole wheat rigatoni, sliced chicken sausage, strips of peppers and onions, roasted garlic and pesto.

Give me a loaf of warm bread with olive oil and roasted garlic and I'm a happy camper.

I also like it with smashed potatoes. I like it with steamed broccoli, with a mixture of bread crumbs, cheese, parsley mixed and put in a tomato and broiled, stuffed artichokes. I could go on and on. Just use your imagination and the possibilities are endless.

I don't make roasted garlic on its own, I just add it whenever I roast any vegetables. I put garlic in almost anything, including pasta water, but I just smash raw garlic for that.

My favorite is angel hair pasta with roasted garlic and (fresh) spinach sauteed in olive oil. Quick, easy and so darn yummy! I also add crushed red pepper to mine but the family isn't as "heat" heavy as I am so I leave theirs alone.

@Chynna, I roast veggies a lot. I mixed a splash of balsamic and even my stepsons ate them. Garlic is a must. I never added smashed garlic to pasta water. Thanks for that idea!

@mandy, I love that recipe! DH doesn't like heat like I do. Tapatio is spicy to him.

@HonnyBrown-my husband is the same way! He'll try a dab of Frank's on occasion...

Fresh green beans and new potatoes cooked in chicken broth with several whole cloves thrown in and a sprinkle of celery salt.

Give me a fresh sliced tomato on the side and that's all I need.

My son and his girlfriend made roasted cauliflower with garlic (which I guess became roasted at that point too) and a sprinkle of parmesan reggiano and it was very good!

Thanks, bette!

Mandy, I can't keep cheese here unless I hide it well.

I like 40 Cloves of Garlic Chicken. I had typed the instructions for making it but something ate them.

VA, while I won't do a whole chicken, I love the 40 cloves of garlic idea! The more garlic, the better. Thanks!

A while ago, I requested ideas to make a simmer sauce from scratch. I'm going to add 40 cloves of roasted garlic and some smoked paprika to it and make my hot dish.

When you roast that much garlic, how do you keep it? Can you freeze it? I don't fix it because it takes so long to roast and for 2-3 heads is all I would do at once.

Zhills, I'm not roasting the entire bag at once, which is why I'm looking for ideas.

I roast about 25-20 cloves and use those in each dish. There is no way I would peel that many cloves, so I am having a field day!
