Cut very tops off garlic, then place garlic in aluminum foil shaped into a bowl. Add a little water and close the bowl-packet. This will create steam and make it simple to separate the garlic from the skins. Optionally, season with a few drops of olive oil, salt or black pepper, if desired. Bake the closed packet on any oven-safe dish for 45-60 minutes. Allow to cool before handling. Can be made ahead and stored in the fridge.<\/p>\n<p>To make the Sauce, place sundried tomatoes\u00a0in a bowl and cover with 1\/2 cup very hot water. Allow to soak for 25-20 minutes to soften.<\/p>\n<p>Squeeze roasted garlic from papery skins, so just the roasted cloves go into a blender\u00a0or food processor. Add all over ingredients, including the soaking water from the sundried\u00a0tomatoes.
