Ingredients
For the Garlic-tomato basil butter:
- 2 whole garlic bulbs (peeled)
- 1/2 cup olive oil (to cover cloves)
- 1/2 cup softened vegan butter (or regular)
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 3 tbsp grated vegan parmesan (or regular)

For the Pasta:
- 400 g spaghetti (or any pasta you prefer)
- 1 cup pasta’s cooking water

Instructions
- Slow-roast the garlic: Put peeled cloves in a small saucepan, cover with olive oil, and cook over low heat for 20 minutes until soft and golden. Let cool.
- Make the compound butter: Blend roasted garlic with soft butter, salt, and pepper until smooth. Stir in tomato paste, parmesan, and basil. Refrigerate until firm (about 30 minutes).
