3/4 teaspoons kosher salt

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

3 large eggs

cup roasted garlic (see recipe)

2 tablespoons chives

Instructions:

To roast garlic:

Cut the non-root end of eight heads of garlic to expose the cloves.

Place in a baking dish covered in aluminum foil.

Bake in a preheated 300 degree oven for 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool.

Once cool, squeeze the bulb of garlic releasing the roasted cloves from their shell.

To make the dish:

Place milk and butter to sauce pan and bring to a boil.

When boiling, add flour. Cook and stir with a wooden spoon over medium heat for two minutes. Mixture should feel dry to the touch.

Remove from pot and put in a bowl.

Allow to cool slightly and add eggs two at a time and stir until mixture comes together after each addition.

When eggs are fully incorporated, add remaining ingredients.

Put mixture in a piping bag and cool completely.

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Salt the boiling water as if for pasta.

Cut a hole in the piping bag, about a half inch wide.

With the piping bag in one hand, and a small knife in the other, extrude the dough into the pot of water, snipping off half-inch pieces.

Allow to cook for two minutes, and then remove from water and shock in an ice bath.

Once cool, remove from ice and place on an oiled tray.
