Roasted Garlic Noodles with Mushrooms and Herbs
Ingredients
- 1 lb pasta noodles of choice (I used Long Fusilli)
- 1 large garlic head
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 bunch fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro) or micro greens
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper (Optional)
- 2 cups chopped oyster mushrooms
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400F/200C. Slice off the top of the head of garlic. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Wrap in foil and place in a shallow dish.
Roast until golden and soft, about 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook pasta noodles according to package directions.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain and return to the pot.
If desired, sauté mushrooms in 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil and season with a pinch of salt, then add to the pasta.
Once the garlic is out of the oven, let it cool, then squeeze out the garlic cloves. Place in a small bowl, add 3 tablespoons olive oil, and mash with a fork to infuse the oil.
Drizzle the garlic oil over the noodles, add a good pinch of salt and pepper, and mix in chopped fresh herbs or micro greens.
