Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 400°F.
2.	Cut off the tip of the head of garlic to expose the cloves and place on a piece of foil. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and wrap the garlic in the foil to create a packet. Roast for 40 minutes, or until the garlic is softened and caramelized.

4.	Cook the tortellini according to package instructions until al dente, then drain well.
5.	In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the tortellini and toss to coat with the butter. Pour the creamy roasted garlic sauce over the tortellini and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with additional parmesan cheese if desired.
