Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g Pasta your choice of shape
  • 200 g Mushrooms sliced
  • 1 large onion thinly sliced
  • 1 head of garlic
  • 3 tbsp mascarpone
  • 6 sun-dried tomatoes (in olive oil) chopped
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp Italian herbs
  • 1 tsp paprika powder
  • 1 tsp salt to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves a handful
  • Reserved pasta water as needed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).
  • Prepare the vegetables: Place the sliced mushrooms and onions on a large baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, Italian herbs, and paprika. Mix everything well to ensure even coating.
  • Add garlic and mascarpone: Slice the top off the head of garlic and place it on the tray. Drizzle with olive oil and add dollops of mascarpone across the vegetables.
  • Roast: Cover the tray with foil and roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the vegetables are tender and the garlic is soft and golden.
  • Cook the pasta: Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Be sure to save about 1 cup of the pasta water before draining.
  • Build the sauce: After roasting, squeeze the roasted garlic out of its skin and mash it into the vegetables. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and torn basil leaves. Stir everything together.
  • Combine with pasta :Add the cooked pasta to the tray, along with a splash of the reserved pasta water. Toss everything until the pasta is well coated in the creamy sauce. Add more pasta water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
  • Serve: Garnish with extra basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve warm and enjoy!
