Pasta with Caramelized Garlic
and Fresh Parsley

With some caramelized garlic on hand, this hearty pasta dish is a snap to make.

Yield: 6 servings
Cooking Time: 5 to 15 minutes for the pasta;
5 to 8 hours for the caramelized garlic

5 to 6 cloves Caramelized Garlic
1/3 cup garlic oil from Caramelized Garlic
1 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, preferably Parmigiano-Reggiano

Cook the pasta in rapidly boiling salted water until at dente. Drain, reserving 1/2cup of the cooking water. Place the pasta in a warmed bowl.

Pass the cheese separately.
