The Best Garlic Bread
This recipe is seriously The Best Garlic Bread recipe! Perfectly toasted and smothered in a delicious garlic butter and parmesan cheese spread. You will definitely want to keep this one in your recipe book.
In my house, we ALWAYS have garlic bread with our pasta dishes. Can you eat pasta without garlic bread? Yes, I know you can, but do you really want to? Whether we are having a delicious pasta meat sauce on spaghetti, or a creamy alfredo sauce like on this Chicken Alfredo Casserole, we always have garlic bread. We love dipping the garlic bread in the sauce, for added yumminess'.
I never thought that I would share a garlic bread recipe on this blog, but here I am wanting to share with y'all my family's favorite way to eat garlic bread. I think what makes it so good is that I add a little grated parmesan to the garlic butter spread. The nutty flavor and added salt really do go well with the bread. Well actually, the best part is probably the homemade French Bread. If you have never made homemade French Bread, give my recipe a try.
