Ingredients
- 3 heads of garlic
- 1/4 cup Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 zucchini, sliced
- 1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 8 ounces angel hair pasta
Instructions
-
Prepare the Garlic: Begin by lightly spraying each head of garlic with cooking spray. Wrap each head individually in aluminum foil and place them in a small baking pan. Bake the garlic in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 45 minutes. This process will transform the garlic into a mellow, caramelized version of itself. Once baked, allow the garlic to cool for about 10 minutes.
-
-
Extract the Garlic Pulp: After cooling, unwrap the garlic and carefully separate the cloves. Squeeze each clove to extract the soft, golden garlic pulp while discarding the peels. This roasted garlic will become the base of your flavor-packed sauce.
-
Prepare the Garlic Mixture: Place the garlic pulp into a food processor or blender. Add the Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard, lemon juice, and ground black pepper. Cover and process until the mixture is smooth and well-puréed. Set aside this aromatic garlic mixture; it will be the heart of your sauce.
-
Cook the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced zucchini and mushrooms to the skillet, stirring frequently for about 3 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender-crisp. The vegetables should have a slight golden color and a delightful texture.
-
Combine the Ingredients: Once the vegetables are cooked, add the prepared garlic mixture to the skillet along with the water and diced tomatoes. Stir everything together to combine well. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture cook until it is thoroughly heated, stirring frequently to ensure even cooking.
-
Cook the Pasta: While the sauce is simmering, cook the angel hair pasta according to the package instructions until it is al dente. Drain the pasta and toss it with the hot, flavorful sauce from the skillet.
-
Serve: Transfer the Roasted Garlic Angel Hair to serving plates and enjoy immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and savor the harmonious blend of roasted garlic, tender pasta, and fresh vegetables.
