Instructions
Step 1: Roast the garlic
The first step in making garlic sauce is to roast the garlic. To do this, preheat your oven to (200°C). Cut off the top of the garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Place the bulb on a piece of foil, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Wrap the foil around the bulb and place it in the oven. Roast for 30-40 minutes or until the cloves are soft and golden brown.
Step 2: Squeeze out the cloves
Once the garlic is done roasting, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Once it's cool enough to handle, squeeze out the cloves from the bulb. This can be done by pressing on the bulb with your fingers or using the back of a spoon.
Step 3: Make the sauce
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the roasted garlic cloves, and stir for 1-2 minutes. Next, add the chicken or vegetable broth and heavy cream. Stir the mixture and bring it to a simmer. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
Step 4: Add the cheese
Once the sauce has thickened, add the grated cheese, and stir until it's fully incorporated. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little more broth or cream to thin it out.
Step 5: Serve and enjoy
Your garlic sauce is now ready to be served. You can use it on pasta, meat, vegetables, or as a dip for bread. It can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
