Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 large garlic cloves, unpeeled
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 teaspoon poppy seeds if desired
1/2 cup (about 3 ounces) orzo (rice-shaped pasta)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Tightly wrap garlic in foil and roast in middle of oven about 25 minutes, or until tender. Carefully unwrap garlic and let cool slightly. Remove skin from cloves and mash into a paste. Transfer garlic paste to a bowl and stir in butter and parsley.
  • While garlic is roasting, in a small skillet dry-roast poppy seeds over moderate heat, shaking skillet until fragrant, being careful not to burn them. Add seeds to garlic mixture.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out bland. I think it needed more salt and pepper.
