I love to serve this bread with spaghetti and meatballs but, honestly, it would go perfectly with any type of pasta. My two favorite things about this recipe are that this bread is quick and easy and also it is very inexpensive to make. I was in the grocery store the other day checking the bakery quick sale items when I found a nice loaf of ciabatta which, naturally, inspired me to make spaghetti for dinner. Take a break from the traditional and try this simple recipe with your next pasta dish.
Ciabatta with Garlic Herb Butter
loaf of ciabatta
1 stick of butter, softened
1 or 2 clove of garlic
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
or 1 tsp. dried parlsey (or italian seasoning)
salt and pepper, to taste
2 Tbsp. parmesan cheese, optional
Carefully slice the entire loaf in half horizontally. Lay both halves open on top of aluminum foil. Mix the softened butter, garlic and herbs until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Spread liberally over both halves. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese, if you want. Put two halves back together. Wrap in aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until warm through. Slice and serve immediately.
