Ingredients
Roast Garlic
- 8 cloves (1 bulb) fresh garlic, roasted and minced
- drizzle of olive oil
Sauce
- 1 Tbls. butter
- 2 Tbls. unbleached all-purpose white flour

Instructions
How to Roast Garlic: cut off top of garlic bulb. Lay bulb on a piece of foil and drizzle with a little olive oil. Wrap foil around the bulb and place on a baking pan. Roast for 30-40 minutes at 400 degrees. Bulb and cloves should be soft. Remove from oven, open foil and remove garlic from each clove. The skins should come off easily. Then mash or mince the cloves and set aside.
