Heat the olive oil in a small skillet.

Place a piece of prepared toast on each plate and top with a portion of the lettuce and dressing.

Using a vegetable peeler, shave thin slices of parmesan over each portion.

Slowly add the olive oil, whisking constantly until smooth.

Add the pepper and salt and set aside.

Lynn's Pasta And Creamy Roasted Garlic Sauce

This is a fantastic sauce. The roasted garlic gives amazing flavour to the sauce. I added Monkfish to the dish and it was superb. Only problem I found was the sauce was a little too thin for my liking so I thickened it up a bit. Very nice sauce, I would highly recommend it! It got top marks from my guests!
