small amounts of skim milk. The consistency should be like cream, not
gravy. Cook the fettuccine in boiling water according to the package

garlic and the vegetables to the sauce in the skillet. Stir and cook

Garlic: Preheat the oven to 350=B0 Place a whole head of garlic in a
small baking pan. Drizzle one teaspoon of olive oil over the head of
garlic, add 1/4 cup water to the pan. Bake the garlic, loosely
covered with aluminum foil, for 45-60 minutes or until the cloves are
soft. The cloves will slip right out of their skins to be mashed,
chopped or served whole. The whole garlic cloves can be served as a
side dish with any roast meat, the mashed garlic cloves are also
delicious mixed with hot homemade mashed potatoes.
