Ingredients

• 10 pieces garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the garlic cloves (unpeeled) in a small baking dish and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir to coat the garlic evenly.

Step 3

Roast the garlic in the oven for 15 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and lightly golden. Allow them to cool slightly, then peel off the skins.

Step 4

In a medium-sized skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add the roasted garlic and mash gently with a fork until it forms a paste-like consistency.

Step 5

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet and stir to combine.

Step 6

Transfer the garlic mixture to a food processor. Add the cream cheese, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Taste the pate and adjust seasoning if needed. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a teaspoon of warm water or olive oil and blend again.

Step 8

Spoon the Garlic Pate Pasta De Alho into a serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately with crusty bread, crackers, or as a topping for grilled vegetables or meat. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
