How to Make Roasted Garlic Bacon Alfredo Sauce
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roast the garlic: Slice the top off the garlic bulb, drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil, and wrap in foil. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until soft and caramelized.
- Cook bacon: While garlic roasts, cook bacon until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease.
- Make the sauce: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and whisk until smooth. Gradually whisk in 2 cups heavy cream, stirring constantly until thickened.
- Add flavor: Stir in the roasted garlic (squeeze cloves from their skins), 2 tablespoons reserved bacon grease, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Simmer and add bacon: Reduce heat to low, simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Crumble crispy bacon into the sauce.
- Serve: Toss with your favorite pasta (linguine recommended) and garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley (optional).
