    Recipe Introduction


    goes good with spaghetti

    List of Ingredients




    Serves 6 to 8

    9-10 medium cloves garlic (about the size of a plump cashew nut) skins left
    on
    6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
    2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 whole loaf high-quality Italian bread (about 1 pound, football-shaped),
    halved lengthwise
    Ground black pepper

    Recipe



    Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 500 degrees. Meanwhile,
    toast garlic cloves in small skillet over medium heat, shaking pan
    occasionally, until fragrant and color of cloves deepens slightly, about 8
    minutes. When cool enough to handle, skin and mince cloves (you should have
    about 3 tablespoons). Using dinner fork, mash garlic, butter, cheese and
    salt in small bowl until thoroughly combined.

    Spread cut sides of loaf evenly with butter mixture; season to taste with
    pepper. Transfer loaf halves, buttered side up, onto rimmed baking sheet;
    bake, reversing position of baking sheet in oven from front to back halfway
    through baking time, until surface of bread is golden brown and toasted, 5
    to 10 minutes. Cut each half into 2-inch slices; serve immediately.
