Ingredients

4 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
8 small cloves of Garlic, skinned
1 small Red Onion, diced
1/2 cup each Red, Yellow and Green Peppers, diced
1/2 cup Sliced Mushrooms, fresh
Any of your favorite fresh Vegetables will work, yellow squash, zuccini, etc.
1 tablespoon Dry Italian Seasonings
1 - 2 tablespoon Chicken Boulion or Base
2 teaspoons each, Onion and Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup Half and Half
2 cups Cooked Linguini,

Note

Any of your favorite fresh Vegetables will work, yellow squash, zuccini, etc.

Variation: Add a pound of bite size pieces of Chicken Breasts and brown with Vegetables.

TIP: I prefer to keep the roasted garlic whole, but you can always mash it before adding to the sauce.

Directions

Step 1
Roast garlic cloves with Olive Oil and Salt in foil wrap, @ 350 degrees for approximately 20-30 minutes.
Step 2
In the meantime, in large skillet, heat oil over med-high heat. Carefully add vegetables and raise heat to high. Let the vegetables roast in pan for 2-3 minutes. Shake pan back and forth or stir, to cook evenly. If oil is popping too much, lower heat back to medium. You want to brown only until vegetables are partically cooked. You want them to be firm in the middle. Turn heat to med-low and stir in flour. When well blended, add Half and Half.
Step 3
Bring to boil and simmer for approx. 10-15 minutes. You want your sauce to be on the thick side. Add your roasted garlic and pasta. Stir until the sauce and pasta marry or wed together. Yes, I am being mediforic, because it is like a wedding or marriage between the two!! You might want to include warm french bread to absorb all that creamy goodness.
