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.
