Yummy garlic bread!

If I'm not using my grandparents' jarred sauce, I'm probably using the marinara sauce from Costco (I think it's called White Linen; it comes in a glass jar).  This sauce is so easy because you just have to
heat it up, it tastes great and having it with some fresh ravioli is oh so yummy!

My little one has been asking for garlic bread every day for at least the last week so I decided to make some to go with our ravioli dinner tonight.  This recipe makes such a yummy garlic bread and it is so great to dip into the tomato sauce as well.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1-2 tsp dried parsley (or 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped)
1 tbsp finely chopped garlic
1 baguette or Italian loaf
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Stir together the butter, oil, garlic and parsley in a small bowl.
3, Cut the bread into 1" thick slices with a serrated knife.  Do not cut all the way through, leaving the slices attached to each other.
4. Gently pull apart the slices and use a pastry brush to butter them with the garlic mixture.  Spread the garlic mixture over the outside as well.  Sprinkle the outside and between the slices with the Parmesan cheese.
5. Wrap the loaf in foil and bake in the center of the oven for 15 minutes.  After that time, open the foil and bake an additional 5 minutes.
