Covering with foil allows the vegetables to steam and soften without browning too quickly.

Finish roasting uncovered

Remove the foil and continue roasting for another 15 minutes until the onions are golden brown and slightly sweet.

Create the creamy sauce

Remove from oven. Squeeze the softened garlic from its skins and mash everything together with a fork. Stir in the cream until well combined.

5 min
The garlic should be very soft and easy to squeeze out. Mash thoroughly for the best flavor distribution.

Cook the pasta

While the sauce is baking, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente.

Combine and serve

Fold the cooked pasta into the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add 2-3 tablespoons of pasta water to loosen it.

2 min
Reserve some pasta cooking water before draining - the starchy water helps create a silky sauce.
