Garlic Bread Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    In a bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, minced garlic (from 4 cloves), chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

  3. 3

    Slice the Bread

    Bake the Bread

    Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

    Slice the Bread

    Once baked, remove from the oven and slice into four pieces.

Tomato Sauce Preparation

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic (from 2 cloves) and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
