Hey mama mangia, Can you please tell me the recipe of garlic bread. I just love it. Whenever I go to pizza hut I order garlic bread with chesse for sure. I though you are an Italian so it would be great asking you the recipe.

Well - how do you like it????


Real butter; now - you can roast your garlic and smash it into the butter, or you can mince your garlic and add. That is a basic way of making it. If desired, you can add 1 t. oil (soy, olive, veggie, etc.) (that is for 1/2 c. butter) and fresh minced parsley, fresh minced onions, shallots or chives and a twist (from your pepper mill) of black pepper. If your butter is unsalted you can add salt.

I sometimes will grate Pecorino Romano on top; you can use Parmesan, Romano, Asiago, Fontina - or a blend which is very good also.

Wanna laugh??? Sometimes I will put anchovies on top!!

So you see - it's a great recipe to play with!

Living in Houston and abroad we like just about every cuisine we've ever tried--some more than others. Of course, Mexican is at the top of the list and anything Asian, with Vietnamese topping the list, as it's so flavorful as well as healthy. We're living in Kazakhstan at the moment and their cuisine is a bit more difficult to get used to (horsemeat is the meat of choice) though we've found some great dishes---just not heart-healthy but one can adapt. Their bread is to die for!!!!!

Indian food (love the spices and naan), greek/mediterranean, and mexican. I don't like german or polish food much.

YUM, this sounds wonderful---to show my ignorance where do you get the anchovies???? Canned??? What brand do you recommend if so???
