Preparation Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for about 30-35 minutes until soft.
- In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the bucatini according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or vegan butter. Add the crushed garlic and panko bread crumbs, tossing until golden brown. Season with kosher salt and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of vegan butter. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk, cooking for 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually pour in the non-dairy milk, whisking continuously. Add the roasted garlic and nutritional yeast, stirring well. Simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
- Add the cooked pasta to the garlic sauce, tossing to coat. Adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately, topped with crispy panko breadcrumbs and chopped parsley.
Notes
- For an extra kick, add red pepper flakes while sautéing garlic.
- Try different pastas like fettuccine or penne for variety.
- Store leftover roasted garlic in the fridge for up to a week.
- For a thicker sauce, let it simmer longer or add more flour.
