So, tonight I became a victim of my own success.  See, in making yesterdays Rollatini, we had quite a bit of leftovers to eat for tonight.  In addition, when Steph saw that we had some left over ricotta filling, she made a little lasagna (inspired IDEA!!) so we haven't even dug our forks into that yet.  I was going to make a dessert for tonight, but in talking it over with Steph…the time it would've taken to make dessert would've meant we'd both be asleep.  That said, it was time to improvise and go back to one of my favorite Italian-type side dishes which takes zippo in the way of time….GARLIC BREAD!!   Yeah, I know…not very exciting, but man…with the sauce that I made yesterday I figured it couldn't hurt to have some around.

Up until I bought my knife set, cutting bread was such a pain…I don't know how I cut bread before

Of course, can't have garlic bread…perfect opportunity to break out the garlic press!  Steph and I go this at Ikea down in Maryland a few years ago…it works like a charm  

We are big fans of garlic in this house…I try to avoid using garlic powder as real garlic tastes so much better!  So, I melted some butter along with the garlic, brushed it on the bread and sprinkled on some cheese.  Under the broiler it went as I kept a close eye on it.  I've been told I always burn garlic bread…so once the cheese got melty…it came out of the oven.  That said, it came out pretty yummy and a good accompaniment for the marinara sauce from yesterday.

Lessons Learned:  Didn't take really that much to put this together so not a lot of room to grow here.  Personally, I like garlic bread on bagettes, but hey…all tastes good with butter and garlic

Finished!!
