Introduction

I found this recipe on the main SparkPeople site under "Food Focus: Garlic," but it wasn't on SparkRecipes. That seemed silly, and besides, it's from a government source, so I figured I 'd add it to the database.

Roasted garlic enhances this smooth, delicious sauce!

Ingredients

1 head garlic or 8 cloves jarred garlic

1 pound frozen peas (2 cups)

1 cup nonfat evaporated milk

2 tsp. grated parmesan cheese

2 tsp. chopped parsley

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut off the stem end of the head of garlic exposing the cloves inside. Wrap in foil and bake in preheated oven 1 hour or until very soft. Unwrap and allow to cool. (Or use 8 cloves of jarred garlic.) Drop the peas into boiling water and cook 2 minutes. Drain and toss into a blender. Squeeze the garlic head toward the cut end to collect all the soft flesh. Add to the peas in the blender along with the evaporated milk. Blend until smooth. Push through a sieve and reheat. Serve over pasta with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley on top.
