This was the way that I wanted the paste to turn out. I opened the foil and let it roast an additional 15 minutes. I roasted a tray of halved grape tomatoes at the same time, pureed them all together with some 1/2 and 1/2 and salt and basil and served over angel hair with some romano cheese. The roasted garlic was wonderful and flavorful. I like roasting it at the higher temp so it is sure to get to the paste consistency.
