Fettuccini and Prawns with Roasted Garlic Cream Sauce

Way back before the turn of the century while living in San Francisco, one of our favorite restaurants was Caffe Sport, whose specialty is Italian seafood. This dish is inspired by one of their most popular menu items, “Scampi al’ Antonio”, created by Chef and founder Antonio La Tona.

Roasted Garlic

Roasted Garlic is definitely garlic, but its sweet nuttiness is also something much more. Use it to give a more subtle hint of garlic than a fresh clove could do or introduce garlic where no garlic has gone before.

Roasting garlic is super easy and can be done anytime you have an extra 45 minutes to spare.

Garlic Confit

Garlic Confit is used in so many preparations that many consider it to be a pantry staple. It's a wonderful flavoring addition for many dishes from mashed potatoes to seafood, or stirred into soup or spread on a crusty piece of bread. Don’t forget to use the oil and not just the garlic cloves.
