Software (a.k.a. Ingredients)

Step 1: Roast the Garlic
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Cut the root end off the garlic bulb like you’re giving it a fresh haircut. Place it in a little foil pouch fancy, right?.
Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil and sprinkle on a generous pinch of kosher salt. Close the foil pouch like it’s a tiny garlic gift.
Roast for about an hour or until your kitchen smells so good, you’re considering making garlic-scented candles. The garlic should be soft and fragrant. Set it aside to cool.
Step 2: Make the Sauce
Preheat a 12-inch skillet on medium-high heat. If your pan could talk it would be saying, “I’m ready!”
Add the remaining olive oil and let it warm up quickly. Toss in the finely diced onion and sauté until it’s translucent—like the onions are shy and blushing.
Sprinkle in the flour and stir like your life depends on it. You’re aiming for the onions to get coated and the flour to absorb all the oil.
Add the basil oregano, and salt. Stir it in so your kitchen starts smelling like an herb garden.
Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens into a luscious sauce.
Squeeze the roasted garlic out of its cloves like toothpaste but infinitely more delicious and stir it into the sauce.
Add the parmesan cheese and stir until it melts completely. This is your moment—don’t rush it. Low and slow is the key to creamy dreamy sauce.
Let the sauce cool to room temperature stirring occasionally to keep it smooth and prevent a skin from forming.
