Garlic Bread
The secret to really good Garlic Bread is to keep it simple… and to use a lot of garlic! Be sure to use freshly shredded parmesan for maximum meltiness. This recipe is the perfect side for any pasta dish. But to be honest, just serving it by itself with some marinara for dipping is the perfect snack!
