Ingredients:

2 whole heads garlic

2 shallots, peeled and halved

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound pasta

½ cup softened butter

1 (5.2 oz) package Boursin cheese

1 tablespoon butter (for breadcrumbs)

½ cup breadcrumbs

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
S&P

red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Slice off the top of the garlic heads to expose the cloves. Place the quartered shallots onto the foil with the garlic.
Step 3
Drizzle with olive oil and wrap in foil, ensuring the shallots are also coated.
Step 4
Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until the garlic and shallots are soft and golden brown.
Step 5
Let cool slightly, then squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins. Mash the roasted shallots.
Step 6
Cook the pasta until al dente. Reserve about 1/4 cup of pasta water.
Step 7
In a medium bowl, mash the roasted garlic and shallots with the softened butter, Boursin cheese, parsley, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Step 8
Toasted Breadcrumbs:
Step 1
Heat a skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Melt 1 tablespoon butter and add the breadcrumbs.
Step 3
Toast, stirring frequently, until golden brown and crispy (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 4
In the same pot you cooked the pasta, add the garlic, shallot, butter, and Boursin mixture and the cooked pasta. Toss to coat.
Step 5
Add a splash of pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce and make it cling to the pasta.
Step 6
Top with toasted breadcrumbs and extra Parmesan cheese.
Step 7
Serve immediately.
