Roasted Garlic Basil Sauce

I'm so excited to share with you one of my latest creations - a Roasted Garlic Basil Sauce! This sauce is the perfect blend of two classic flavors, roasted garlic and fresh basil, that come together to create a truly incredible taste experience.

I started by roasting whole garlic cloves until they were golden and soft. This intensifies the garlic flavor, and gives it a sweetness that you can't get from raw garlic. Then I added fresh basil, which gives the sauce a bright and herby flavor, and blended everything together until smooth.

This sauce is incredibly versatile, and can be used in a variety of different ways. You can serve it as a dipping sauce, pour it over roasted vegetables, or even use it as a salad dressing. It's really up to you and your imagination.

I've been playing around with this recipe for a while now, and I've finally got it just right. I can't wait for you to try it for yourself!

Here's the recipe for you to try at home:

  • 6-8 cloves of garlic
  • 1 large zucchini
