  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees F., and place the heads of garlic in an ovenproof bowl.
  • Drizzle two tablespoons of the oil over the garlic, and roast for 30 minutes or until tender, turning the heads every 10 minutes.
  • Let sit until cool enough to handle.
  • In a medium pot add the remaining oil and heat.
  • Add the mushrooms, and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, or until they are soft, and beginning to brown.
  • Add the hot pepper, and cook an additional minute or two.
  • Add the vermouth, and cook until the liquid is almost completely absorbed.
  • Add the cream, and stir well, cooking it until it is slightly thickened.
  • Squeeze the pulp from the roasted garlic into the sauce and mix well.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cook the pasta until al dente.
  • Mix together the drained pasta and the mushroom mixture over medium heat for a minute of two.

  2. I can't beleive nobody reviewed this recipe yet. This sauce was wonderful! I made this with Porcini Mushroom Tortelloni and it was fabulous. I did not add the chili pepper but did add 1 tsp crushed red pepper. It added a good balance of heat. Thanks for sharing!!
