Ingredients
Method
Roast the Garlic
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the top off the garlic head to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap in foil. Roast for 30 minutes until soft.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a bowl.
Prepare the Sauce
- In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the roasted garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.
- Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Cook the Pasta
- While the sauce simmers, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente.
- Drain the pasta and reserve a cup of pasta water.
Combine and Serve
- Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley.

Notes
