You know those dishes that you could make in your sleep because you have made them so many times? For me those are Mexican Pie, Pasta with Creamy Vodka Sauce and this Cheesy Garlic Bread.
My best friend from childhood came up to visit me last month and she wanted me to cook for her. I made a Rotini Pasta with a Mushroom Truffle Sauce, Spinach Salad with Sweet Potatoes and Toasted Walnuts and this bread. When she asked me what all I put in it, I realized I was like a robot and did everything automatically because it was second nature. Don’t worry I finally sat down to write out the measurements.
The best part about this side dish is you can change out the herbs for whatever fresh herbs you have on hand or which ever ones are your favorite. If you are in a bind and don’t have time to boil the garlic and have the premade minced garlic jar in your fridge, use that instead.
See how easy it is? Don’t you want a bite right now and maybe a yummy marinara sauce to dip it right into? I know I sure do now – too bad it is still breakfast time.
