I used a small head of garlic but halved everything else. I would have liked it even a little more garlicky but that's just me. I used this to spread on a baguette split length wise and then broiled. Yummm

Roasting garlic until it softens and caramelizes takes the edge off its sharp bite. Use this mellow spread on toasted baguettes or baked potatoes, or sauté with fresh vegetables like spinach and broccoli.
