3 tablespoons olive oil

Cut 1/2-inch off top of garlic & discard. Peel outer skin, leave cloves intact. Wrap garlic in foil; bake 1 hour or until tender. Cool.

Cook tortellini according to pkg. directions. Rinse with cold water and drain well. Heat olive oil in skillet over medium heat. Fry pasta in small batches, cooking until lightly browned. Drain on paper towels.

Separate cooled garlic into cloves; pinch each clove so roasted flesh comes out. Place cloves in blender or food processor. Add mayonnaise, sour cream, Parmesan cheese and hot sauce. Cover and puree until very smooth. Spoon into small saucepan; cook over very low heat until hot and bubbly, stirring constantly. Pour into small serving bowl.
