2 garlic bulbs
2 sprigs rosemary
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup white apple vinegar
2 cups small pasta
3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
50 g grated parmesan

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Prepare garlic by cutting the tops off the bulbs. In an oven-proof dish, combine diced pumpkin, garlic bulbs, and rosemary. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Roast for about 45 minutes until tender and caramelized. Allow garlic to cool slightly before squeezing out the cloves.
