Prepare the garlic for roasting: Peel back the loose, papery outer layers of the garlic heads, leaving the cloves intact. Using a sharp knife, cut off about 1/4 inch from the top of each garlic head to expose the individual cloves. Place both prepared garlic heads in the center of a large piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle the exposed garlic with the olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Wrap the garlic heads tightly in the foil to create a sealed packet.

Place the foil-wrapped garlic in the preheated oven and roast for 45 minutes, or until the cloves are very soft and golden brown.

Carefully remove the roasted garlic from the oven and let it cool in the foil packet for about 15 minutes. This allows the garlic to continue steaming and become even softer.

Once cooled, unwrap the garlic. In a food processor, combine the room temperature butter and Parmesan cheese. Squeeze the soft roasted garlic cloves directly from their heads into the food processor. Add a pinch of salt.
