Chef Chuck's Roasted Garlic Pasta

Pasta all'Aglio Arrostito
A robust pasta dish with our homegrown Italian garlic roasted to perfection, extra virgin olive oil, red hot pepper flakes, parmigiana cheese and fresh parsley. This garlic has flavor with meaning because we purchased it in Italy, and grew it our fields. It's harvest time in the garlic fields, so we will have lots more recipes with fresh garlic to come.
