Angel Hair Pasta With Roasted Garlic

Ingredients

• 3 large heads of garlic, unpeeled
• cooking spray
• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup zucchini, julienned
• 1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 medium tomato, chopped
• 8 ounces angel hair pasta, cooked and drained

Directions

1. 1

   Lightly spray each head of garlic with cooking spray. Wrap each garlic head separately in foil. Place garlic in a small baking pan. Bake at 400° for 45 minutes. Cool 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Separate garlic cloves. Squeeze cloves to extract the pulp; discard peels.

3. 3

   Place garlic pulp, mustard, lemon juice and pepper in food processor or blender container; cover. Process until pureed; set aside. (I have also done this by hand once while we were in the process of moving and I couldn't find my food processor, and it worked just fine. It's tedious, but it does work out OK.).

4. 4

   Cook and stir zucchini and mushrooms in hot oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat for 3 minutes or until zucchini is tender-crisp. Add the pureed garlic mixture, water and tomato; mix well. Reduce heat to low; cook until thoroughly heated, stirring frequently.

5. 5

   Toss the vegetable mixture with hot cooked pasta, and serve while still warm.
