Aluminum foil

INSTRUCTIONS

1
First, preheat the oven to 210–220 °C.
2
Prepare a sheet of aluminum foil measuring 30 cm × 30 cm. Place the garlic cloves in the center of the foil sheet and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Wrap the garlic into a package and tighten it. Place the wrapped garlic in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes at 210–220 °C.
3
Meanwhile, bring salted water to a boil in a large pot over high heat and cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. After cooking, drain the spaghetti.
4
Once the garlic is roasted, remove it from the foil and transfer it to a bowl. Add olive oil, parsley, basil, salt, and pepper, and mix everything with a fork (lightly mash the garlic cloves).
5
Once the pesto is ready, mix it into the spaghetti and heat as needed in a pan over medium heat. Sprinkle individual portions with grated Parmesan and serve.
