Pasta with Roasted Garlic Dill Sauce Recipe

Roasted Garlic lovers: We are talking about you!

Delicious, and a snap to make! You could easily make this dish gluten-free: Rice or buckwheat noodles will taste just as delicious: that’s what I use, and not only because I like to limit my gluten intake, but because I love to explore with the whole gamut of grains.

So many wonderful things you can do with roasted garlic. Roast several heads, and freeze them. Slice about ¼ inch off the pointed end of the head of garlic, leaving the cloves exposed. Smear lightly with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast about 45 minutes, until the cloves are soft and squeezable

Don’t tell your guests that this dish, or any dish for that matter, contains anchovies until after they polish it off. The anchovies disperse and leave no trace of their controversial heritage except for a deep, smoky flavor. I’m reminded of a wonderful headline I once saw:

“Anchovies: A blessing if disguised.”

Don’t add salt to dishes including anchovies, as they are loaded with enough salt to season the whole dish.
