Garlic Bread

This Garlic Bread is a buttery, golden side dish made with French bread, fresh garlic, parsley, and Parmesan, baked until the edges turn crisp and the middle stays soft. It is the easy side I make for almost every pasta night at home, and it goes well with spaghetti, lasagna, or any saucy meal.
