Creamy bucatini pasta coated in a rich roasted garlic alfredo sauce, smooth, comforting, and deeply flavorful with a silky texture that clings to every strand.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz bucatini pasta
  • 2 whole garlic bulbs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. Slice the tops off the garlic bulbs, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 35 to 40 minutes until soft and golden.
  3. Cook the bucatini pasta in boiling water until al dente, then reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain.
  4. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the pan.
  5. Add heavy cream and whole milk, stirring gently until the garlic melts into the sauce.
  6. Add the cooked bucatini and parmesan cheese, stirring until coated and creamy, adding reserved pasta water as needed.
  7. Season with salt and black pepper, then remove from heat.
  8. Finish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Add parmesan off the heat for a smoother sauce.
  • Use reserved pasta water gradually to control sauce thickness.
  • Reheat gently with a splash of milk or cream.
