Garlic Bread:

Mash and mix well the butter evenly with all the chopped ingredients.

Slice the bread (don't slice through) in 1 inch thick crosswise, and fill every hole with the mix butter ingredients.

Simple tips and variations:

When preparing this recipe, I always do my garlic bread ahead of time, I normally do quite a few of them and wrap in foil individually and stack in the freezer.

If you prepare this the same day you will cook and eat them, start working the garlic bread first, while you're cooking in the oven, you can work and cook the pasta.

I always spoon and scoop my pasta sauce over as I serve them, although you can also mix them in the sauce before serving.
