Roasted Garlic Spaghetti

I fell in love with garlic spaghetti many, many years ago back when I was a teenager. I remember going to my girlfriends house after school or on the weekends and her mom would make me her garlic spaghetti. It’s such a simple dish but I couldn’t get enough of it. All these years later I still remember that delicious garlic spaghetti that I loved and even my girlfriend and her mom remind me of how much I loved it too! It’s one of those memorable dishes that I’ll never forget.
