Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb pasta
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 2 garlic bulbs
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 1/2 tbsp miso paste
  • 1 cup turkey broth
  • 1 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 8 oz medium cheddar cheese grated on a box grater
  • olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400℉.
  • Slice the tops off the garlic bulbs. Drizzle the exposed tops with approx. a tsp of olive oil, and wrap each bulb in aluminum foil. Place the wrapped bulbs in the oven for 35-40 minutes until the garlic is soft and fragrant. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before extracting.
  • Prepare the pasta as per packaging in salty water. When done drain and set to the side.
  • In a pot, melt the butter over low-medium heat. Once melted, add the extracted roasted garlic. Break up the cloves with the back of a spoon and mix them in with the melted butter.
  • Add the flour and mix to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then add the miso and mix to form a paste.
  • Pour in the turkey broth and whisk to combine; this may take a minute or two. Cook for 1-2 minutes until it has thickened up.
  • Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Careful to not bring to a boil especially if swapping out for half and half.
  • Reduce the heat to low and add in the freshly grated cheddar cheese. Mix into the sauce until it has completely melted. Salt to taste if necessary.
  • Turn off the heat. Add in the pasta and toss to coat in the cheese sauce. Serve immediately.
