Roasted Garlic Cream Sauce

I've been looking for a good garlic cream sauce recipe and I've finally found it. I love this sauce recipe! It has a rich, creamy flavor and works well with any pasta. It also reheats better than any other cream sauce or alfredo that I've ever made.
  • 3 heads of garlic, roasted (here's how to roast garlic)
  • 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth (low sodium)
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped basil and parsley
Directions
  1. After roasting the garlic, squeeze pulp from cloves into a saucepan. Add butter, and cook over medium heat until melted. Whisk in flour, salt, and pepper; cook, whisking continually, for 1 minute. 
  2. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and milk; bring to a simmer and add 1/4 cup cheese. Cook until mixture thickens. 
  3. Toss with pasta, and sprinkle with cheese and herbs.
